الوصف: Many technologically useful magnetic oxides are ferrimagnetic insulators, which consist of chemically distinct cations. Here, we examine the spin dynamics of different magnetic cations in ferrimagnetic NiZnAl-ferrite (Ni$_{0.65}$Zn$_{0.35}$Al$_{0.8}$Fe$_{1.2}$O$_4$) under continuous microwave excitation. Specifically, we employ time-resolved x-ray ferromagnetic resonance to separately probe Fe$^{2+/3+}$ and Ni$^{2+}$ cations on different sublattice sites. Our results show that the precessing cation moments retain a rigid, collinear configuration to within $\approx$2$^\circ$. Moreover, the effective spin relaxation is identical to within $<$10% for all magnetic cations in the ferrite. We thus validate the oft-assumed ``ferromagnetic-like'' dynamics in resonantly driven ferrimagnetic oxides, where the magnetic moments from different cations precess as a coherent, collective magnetization.
