Quantitative magnetic characterization of synthetic ferrimagnets for predictive spin-dynamic behavior

• Geometric or magnetic asymmetries in synthetic antiferromagnetic particles give rise to ferrimagnetic-like magnetization behavior, both quasi-static and dynamic. Such asymmetries in synthetic ferrimagnets can originate from a thickness imbalance or a fringing field from the reference layer in a nanopillar stack. In this paper, we theoretically describe the effects of the corresponding magnetic asymmetry contribution on the structure's static and spin-dynamic behavior. The developed model is then used to experimentally determine the asymmetry parameters of typical nanoscale spin-flop junctions, as well as successfully describe their microwave resonant properties, such as the frequency splitting and the field dependence of the optical spin-resonance spectra.
