Microwave-assisted magnetization reversal in a 0.36 mu m wide Ni80Fe20 wire with a natural ferromagnetic resonance frequency of 8.42 GHz was investigated experimentally. Magnetization switching could be detected from a discontinuous change in the ferromagnetic resonance frequency of the wire. The application of microwaves with a frequency of 7.5 GHz and a power of 19.2 dBm reduced the switching field from 217 to 142 Oe. While high-power microwave-assisted switching reduced the dc switching field, it substantially broadened the switching field distribution. This is mainly attributed to inhomogeneous resonance properties of the nucleation sites in the wire. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.
