Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we present this Special Issue “Micromagnetics and Magnetization Processes in Nanomagnetism”, allowing the nanomagnetism community the opportunity to contribute with the submission of review papers, full articles, and short communications.

Nanomagnetism comprises the study of the novel physical phenomena that appear when magnetic systems are reduced to the nanoscale. Current thin film growth technology allows fabricating thin films and multilayers at sub-nanoscale and all the way down to angstrom precision. In addition, the precise control in nanoscale fabrication offered by modern lithography now makes it possible to produce samples composed of high-quality nanostructures in magnetic films. This new control over the sizes, periods, and symmetry of nanostructures enables not only the fabrication of new systems of potential technological interest but also systems in which fundamental properties of mesoscopic matter can be investigated in depth.

This Special Issue focuses on different areas of nanomagnetism. Contributions to the collection may cover topics including but not limited to magnetization processes in magnetic nanostructures, magnetic thin films and multilayers, micromagnetic simulations, magnetization dynamics, and magnetization reversal processes, among others.

Antidot lattices made of magnetic thin films are good candidates to be employed in future magnetic recording media. In this manuscript we present a study on the effect of shape and field-induced magnetic anisotropies on the magnetization reversal of 10 nm and 50 nm thick permalloy antidot lattices. Rounded antidot square lattices were fabricated using a combination of electron beam evaporation and laser interference lithography, covering surfaces of a few cm2. We demonstrate that a magnetic anisotropy induced in the samples, as a consequence of an applied magnetic field during growth, competes with the shape anisotropy that dominates the response of the patterned thin films, and that the effect of the field-induced magnetic anisotropy scales with the thickness of the antidot thin films. Finally, we have quantified the anisotropy constant attributable to the uniaxial field-induced magnetic anisotropy in our antidot lattices. These findings are supported by micromagnetic simulations performed using MuMax3. Full article

Magnonic crystals and gratings could enable tunable spin-wave filters, logic, and frequency multiplier devices. Using micromagnetic models, we investigate the effect of nanowire damping, excitation frequency and geometry on the spin wave modes, spatial and temporal transmission profiles for a finite patterned nanograting under external direct current (DC) and radio frequency (RF) magnetic fields. Studying the effect of Gilbert damping constant on the temporal and spectral responses shows that low-damping leads to longer mode propagation lengths due to low-loss and high-frequency excitations are also transmitted with high intensity. When the nanowire is excited with stronger external RF fields, higher frequency spin wave modes are transmitted with higher intensities. Changing the nanowire grating width, pitch and its number of periods helps shift the transmitted frequencies over super high-frequency (SHF) range, spans S, C, X, Ku, and K bands (3–30 GHz). Our design could enable spin-wave frequency multipliers, selective filtering, excitation, and suppression in magnetic nanowires. Full article
