Collective Spin-Wave Dynamics in Gyroid Ferromagnetic Nanostructures.

Expanding upon the burgeoning discipline of magnonics, this research elucidates the intricate dynamics of spin waves (SWs) within three-dimensional nanoenvironments. It marks a shift from traditionally used planar systems to exploration of magnetization configurations and the resulting dynamics within 3D nanostructures. This study deploys micromagnetic simulations alongside ferromagnetic resonance measurements to scrutinize magnetic gyroids, periodic chiral configurations composed of chiral triple junctions with a period in nanoscale. Our findings uncover distinctive attributes intrinsic to the gyroid network, most notably the localization of collective SW excitations and the sensitivity of the gyroid's ferromagnetic response to the orientation of the static magnetic field, a correlation closely tied to the crystallographic alignment of the structure. Furthermore, we show that for the ferromagnetic resonance, multidomain gyroid films can be treated as a magnonic material with effective magnetization scaled by its filling factor. The implications of our research carry the potential for practical uses such as an effective, metamaterial-like substitute for ferromagnetic parts and lay the groundwork for radio frequency filters. The growing areas of 3D magnonics and spintronics present exciting opportunities to investigate and utilize gyroid nanostructures for signal processing purposes.
