Ferromagnetic resonance in 3D-tilted square artificial spin ices

Artificial spin ices (ASIs) arranged in square formations have been explored from the perspective of reconfigurable magnonics. A new frontier in ASIs is their three-dimensional (3D) extension. Here, we numerically explore the ferromagnetic resonance of square ASIs as each nanomagnet is rotated out of plane into 3D ASIs, in which the vertex gap can be either kept constant or varying. We study both remanent and vortex configurations using a semi-analytical dynamic approach and micromagnetic simulations. We find that both methods show qualitative agreement of the main spectral features. However, there are important limitations. On one hand, the semi-analytical approach relies on a minimal model of the demag field, preventing exact predictions. On the other hand, micromagnetic simulations suffer from sufficient resolution, making the results grid-dependent and extremely slow. Regardless, both methods display tunability as a function of the tilt angle. These results showcase advantages and limitations of both methods and are promising to further our understanding of 3D ASI dynamics.

Ultrastrong magnon-magnon coupling and chiral spin-texture control in a dipolar 3D multilayered artificial spin-vortex ice

Strongly-interacting nanomagnetic arrays are ideal systems for exploring reconfigurable magnonics. They provide huge microstate spaces and integrated solutions for storage and neuromorphic computing alongside GHz functionality. These systems may be broadly assessed by their range of reliably accessible states and the strength of magnon coupling phenomena and nonlinearities. Increasingly, nanomagnetic systems are expanding into three-dimensional architectures. This has enhanced the range of available magnetic microstates and functional behaviours, but engineering control over 3D states and dynamics remains challenging. Here, we introduce a 3D magnonic metamaterial composed from multilayered artificial spin ice nanoarrays. Comprising two magnetic layers separated by a non-magnetic spacer, each nanoisland may assume four macrospin or vortex states per magnetic layer. This creates a system with a rich $16^N$ microstate space and intense static and dynamic dipolar magnetic coupling. The system exhibits a broad range of emergent phenomena driven by the strong inter-layer dipolar interaction, including ultrastrong magnon-magnon coupling with normalised coupling rates of $\frac{Δω}γ = 0.57$, GHz mode shifts in zero applied field and chirality-selective magneto-toroidal microstate programming and corresponding magnonic spectral control.

Gænice: a general model for magnon band structure of artificial spin ices

Arrays of artificial spin ices exhibit reconfigurable ferromagnetic resonance frequencies that can be leveraged and designed for potential applications.However, analytical and numerical studies of the frequency response of artificial spin ices have remained somewhat limited due to the need of take into account nonlocal dipole fields in theoretical calculations or by long computation times in micromagnetic simulations. Here, we introduce Gaenice, a framework to compute magnon dispersion relations of arbitrary artificial spin ice configurations. Gaenice makes use of a tight-binding approach to compute the magnon bands. It also provides the user complete control of the interaction terms included, e.g., external field, anisotropy, exchange, and dipole, making it useful also to compute ferromagnetic resonances for a variety of structures, such as multilayers and ensembles of weakly or non-interacting nanoparticles. Because it relies on a semi-analytical model, Gaenice is computationally inexpensive and efficient, making it an attractive tool for the exploration of large parameter spaces.
