Abstract

Dynamic relaxation for nonlinear magnetization excitation is analyzed. For direct processes, such as magnon-electron scattering and two-magnon scattering, the relaxation rate is determined from the linear case simply by utilizing the magnetization oscillation frequency for nonlinear excitation. For an indirect process, such as slow-relaxing impurities, the analysis gives an additional relaxation term proportional to the excitation level. In all cases the effective magnetization damping is increased compared to Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert damping.
