Low Ghz loss in sputtered epitaxial Fe
  We show that sputtered, pure epitaxial iron films can have high-frequency loss as low as, or lower than, any known metallic ferromagnetic heterostructure. Minimum 34 Ghz ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) linewidths of 41 Oe are demonstrated, some ~ 5-10 % lower than the previous minimum reported for molecular beam epitaxially (MBE) deposited Fe. Intrinsic and extrinsic damping have been separated over 0-40 Ghz, giving a lower bound for intrinsic LL(G) relaxation rates of lambda or G = 85 MHz (alpha = 0.0027) and extrinsic 50 Mhz. Swept frequency measurements indicate the potential for integrated frequency domain devices with Q>100 at 30-40 Ghz.
