18. Due to the formation of a stripe domain structure this assumption is not strictly true for the thicker samples at the X band, especially for the 94-nm film which has an in-plane saturation field of ~ 1500Oe. In the case of the K band, the in-plane resonance fields are in the range of 5000 Oe, which is well above saturation.

29. The room-temperature skin depth of Fe films is (Ref.) ~ 40 nm at 10 GHz and 25 nm at 24 GHz. Assuming the same permeability for FePt that has a resistivity eight times larger than Fe (Ref.) the estimated skin depth is 112 nm at 10 GHz and 70 nm at 24 GHz.

33. Strictly speaking, the assignment of n = 0 and n = 1 to the first two modes is not correct because the n = 0 mode can be only excited in the case of uniform magnetization and no surface pinning. If the first mode is n = 1, the second can be n = 2 or n = 3 depending on the symmetry of the pinning. In any case this assignment will produce a shift of the dashed curve in Fig. but not a change in the slope.
