Description
The Magnetic Lab in the physics department is equipped with X-and Q-Band electron spin resonance spectrometers (ESR); the spectrometers are equipped with liquid He cryostats for low temperature measurements; the lab is also equipped with a 9-Tesla Quantum Design Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS). The system is an automated low-temperature and magnet for the measurement of material properties like magnetization, specific heat, magnetic AC and DC susceptibility and both electrical and thermal transport properties. A home-made broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) setup designed to probe the magnetization dynamics in magnetic thin films. The setup includes a coplanar waveguide for frequency sweep (2 to 19 GHz). The magnetic field can reach up to 0.4 T with an in-plane field and up to 1.5 T in out-of-plane fields. This setup is used to characterize magnetic films such as, the saturation magnetization, magnetic damping, spin pumping and other spin-orbitronic phenomena.

Broadband Ferromagnetic Resonance (FMR):

A homemade broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) setup designed to probe the magnetization dynamics in magnetic thin films. The setup includes a coplanar waveguide for frequency sweep (2 to 19 GHz). The magnetic field can reach up to 0.7 T with an in-plane field and up to 1.5 T in out-of-plane fields. This setup is used to characterize magnetic films such as saturation magnetization, magnetic damping, spin pumping, and other spin-orbitronic phenomena.

Micromagnetic simulation:
The micro-magnetism simulations based on the Landau-Lifshitz equation are performed using open-source software,
mumax3. The software is downloaded on the High-Performance Computing Cluster at the American University of Beirut. Codes for data analysis are developed in MATLAB and Python.
