Introduction

Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) is a key phenomenon in magnetism, particularly in the study of solid-state physics. It plays a foundational role in understanding microwave ferrite physics, which has significant applications in radar systems and microwave communications. FMR involves the interaction between microwave radiation and the magnetization of ferromagnetic materials, and it is used to study the magnetic properties of these materials.

The LEAI-16 Microwave Ferromagnetic Resonance Apparatus is designed to provide hands-on experience for students to explore FMR and its associated phenomena. This experimental system is capable of measuring the ferromagnetic resonance curve of a ferromagnetic specimen, which is essential for understanding the magnetic characteristics of materials under microwave irradiation.

The instruction manual offers a comprehensive guide, including experimental configurations, theoretical principles, and step-by-step instructions, making it a suitable tool for learning and mastering the principles of microwave ferromagnetic resonance. Please click Experiment Theory and Contents to find more information about this apparatus.
