Dilute impurities can be used to control the dynamical response of ferromagnetic thin film magnetization at frequencies >1 GHz. Central lanthanide dopants (Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, and Ho) have been investigated for their effect on the magnetization dynamics of Ni81Fe19 (50 nm). We find that Sm, Dy, and Ho contribute an increase on damping alpha up to four times stronger per concentration than that provided by Tb, with minimal effect on precessional frequency. One dopant, Eu, leaves alpha unchanged but boosts the resonant frequency f(p) of the system by similar to500 MHz for 3% addition, equivalent to a dynamic anisotropy field of 9 Oe, stiffening the system. The results indicate that precessional frequency and damping may be controlled independently in magnetoelectronic device materials. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
