| Popis: | We consider the spin dynamics of a normal metal-ferromagnet heterostructure, with emphasis on spin-nutation terms arising from a dynamical Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction. We find that the spin-nutation term is anisotropic in spin space due to the broken time-reversal symmetry of the ferromagnet. This contrasts with what one obtains in the paramagnetic state, where the nutation term is isotropic in spin space. We compute the effects this has on the magnetization dynamics derived from a Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. In particular, due to broken time-reversal symmetry, we predict a third ferromagnetic resonance due to nutational spin dynamics. This resonance frequency is tunable by applying an external magnetic field. We propose this as a strong indicator for the existence of nutation in spin systems. Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures.
