Deviation From the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation in the Inertial regime of the Magnetization

We investigate in details the inertial dynamics of a uniform magnetization in the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) context. Analytical predictions and numerical simulations of the complete equations within the Inertial Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (ILLG) model are presented. In addition to the usual precession resonance, the inertial model gives a second resonance peak associated to the nutation dynamics provided that the damping is not too large. The analytical resolution of the equations of motion yields both the precession and nutation angular frequencies. They are function of the inertial dynamics characteristic time $\tau$, the dimensionless damping $\alpha$ and the static magnetic field $H$. A scaling function with respect to $\alpha\tau\gamma H$ is found for the nutation angular frequency, also valid for the precession angular frequency when $\alpha\tau\gamma H\gg 1$. Beyond the direct measurement of the nutation resonance peak, we show that the inertial dynamics of the magnetization has measurable effects on both the width and the angular frequency of the precession resonance peak when varying the applied static field. These predictions could be used to experimentally identify the inertial dynamics of the magnetization proposed in the ILLG model.
