Introduction

Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) is an important topic in magnetism even in solid state physics. It is the basis of microwave ferrite physics. Microwave ferrite has important applications in radar and microwave communications. This microwave ferromagnetic resonance apparatus is an experimental instrument for measuring the ferromagnetic resonance curve of a ferromagnetic specimen. The instructional manual contains comprehensive materials including experimental configurations, principles and step-by-step instructions. Please click Experiment Theory and Contents to find more information about this apparatus.

 

Using this apparatus, the following experiments can be conducted:


1) Understand and master the functions and applications of various microwave components. 

2) Understand the measurement principle and experimental conditions of ferromagnetic resonance, and observe microwave ferromagnetic resonance phenomena.

3) Determine resonant magnetic field and microwave frequency, calculate gyromagnetic ratio (γ ) and Lande's g-factor (g) of microwave ferrite.

4) Measure ferromagnetic resonance line width (ΔH) and estimate relaxation time (τ) of microwave ferrite material.

5) Learn how to set up and adjust a microwave experimental system.
