Electrical excitation and detection of magnetic dynamics with impedance matching

Abstract

Motivated by the prospects of increased measurement bandwidth, improved signal to noise ratio and access to the full complex magnetic susceptibility we develop a technique to extract microwave voltages from our high resistance (10 k{\Omega}) (Ga,Mn)As microbars. We drive magnetization precession with microwave frequency current, using a mechanism that relies on the spin orbit interaction. A capacitively coupled lambda/2 microstrip resonator is employed as an impedance matching network, enabling us to measure the microwave voltage generated during magnetisation precession.
