Abstract
We analyzed the ferromagnetic and spin wave resonance signals measured in amorphous CoFeB thin films with different thickness. The ferromagnetic resonance field ($H_{FMR}$) was not depend on the thickness of CoFeB films, but the spin wave resonance field ($H_{SWR}$) was well fitted with the theoretical prediction depending on the thickness. The uniaxial anisotropy field of $H_k$ = 37 Oe was obtained from the angular dependent $H_{FMR}$ in CoFeB films. The $H_{SWR}$ showed same angular behaviors with $H_{FMR}$, however, the amplitude of spin wave resonance signals showed 5.7 times higher than that of ferromagnetic resonance signals in CoFeB film with t = 100 nm. The higher signals were due to the two reasons; one was the small damping for the spin wave propagation without degradation, the other was uniform magnetization for the ideal standing wave modes.
