Abstract
We report ferromagnetic resonance experiments on Ga1−xMnxAs thin films. For the dc magnetic field perpendicular to the sample plane, we observe up to eight distinct resonances, which we attribute to spin wave modes. To account for the spacing of the resonances, we infer a linear gradient in the magnetic properties, which is ascribed to a linear variation of the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy with film thickness. Values of D=(1±0.4)×10−9 Oe cm2 for the spin stiffness and JMnMn≈1 meV for the exchange integral between Mn spins are obtained.

Nonlocal magnetization dynamics in ferromagnetic heterostructures

TL;DR: In this article, the role of spin pumping in layered structures is discussed and the main body of the theory is semiclassical and based on a mean-field Stoner or spin-density functional picture, but quantum-size effects and electron-electron correlations are also discussed.

Surface acoustic wave driven ferromagnetic resonance in nickel thin films: Theory and experiment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an extensive experimental and theoretical study of surface acoustic wave driven ferromagnetic resonance and derive expressions for the magnetization dynamics upon magnetoelastic driving that are used to calculate the absorbed microwave power upon magnetic resonance as well as the spin-current density generated by the precessing magnetization in the vicinity of a ferromagnet/normal metal interface.
