  • Abstract
    We investigated the high-frequency modes of 40 mum wide, 160 nm thick Fe 70Co8B12Si10 squares using time-resolved scanning Kerr microscopy. Two modes were identified using pulsed field excitation while the spatial character of the out-of-plane and in-plane magnetization component was investigated using harmonic field excitation. The field dependence of the two modes has been fitted using the Damon-Eshbach model.
