Applications of nanomagnets as dynamical systems: I

Abstract When magnets are fashioned into nanoscale elements, they exhibit a wide variety of phenomena replete with rich physics and the lure tantalizing applications. In this topical review, we discuss some these phenomena, especially those that have come to light recently, highlight their potential We emphasize what drives phenomenon, undergirds dynamics system exhibits how can be manipulated, specific features harnessed for technological advances. For sake balance, point out both advantages shortcomings nanomagnet based devices systems predicated on discuss. Where possible, chart paths future investigations shed new an intriguing phenomenon and/or facilitate traditional non-traditional
