Data on the temperature dependence of the off-resonance effective linewidth

have been obtained at 9.94 GHz for porous and fine grained samples of polycrystalline YIG. The high field

increases with decreasing temperature from 300K to 250K. From 250K to 100K,

is constant.

is linearly proportional to porosity, with about 0.4 Oe/%, which is superimposed on a porosity independent contribution which increases from a few tenths Oe at 300K to about 2.2 Oe below 250K. For samples with an average grain size a
oof 3μ to

is proportional to

at 300K and to

below 250K. These results are discussed in terms of a magnetostriction model and a spin-wave transit time model.
