Isotropic magnetic materials with high resonant frequencies are useful for applications in microwave devices. Undoped CoFe thin films, as common soft magnetic materials with high saturation magnetization, show isotropic characteristics but no high frequency response. Here, we use ferrite doped CoFe thin film to realize a resonant frequency higher than 4.5 GHz at all orientations. The exchange coupling between ferrimagnet and ferromagnet is assumed to play a key role on the omnidirectional rotatable anisotropy.
