Keita Mastumoto, Laboratory for Optical Condensed Matter Physics,Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan
Mr. Matsumoto visited us to perform BLS measurements on therare earth compound Gd4/3Yb2/3BiFe5O12, a material that exhibitsa large spin orbit coupling and hosts a large inverse Faraday effect.In a 140 µm thick film, we observed the fundamental thicknessmode and the backscattering spin-wave mode. The FMR positionwas compared to electrical measurements of the ferromagnetic res-onance.
