The FMR oscillations in the time-domain appear in response to a sudden, optically induced change in the direction of easy-axis anisotropy. The high FMR frequency, 250 GHz, and large Gilbert damping parameter, α 1, are consistent with strong spin-orbit coupling. We find that the parameters associated with the magnetization dynamics, including α, have a nonmonotonic temperature dependence, suggestive of a link to the anomalous Hall effect. © 2009 The American Physical Society.}, year = {2009}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, volume = {102}, number = {17}, issn = {00319007}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.102.177601}, note = {cited By 39}, language = {eng}, }
