چکیده
We show that chemical fixation enables top-down micro-machining of large periodic 3D arrays of protein-encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) without loss of order. We machined 3D micro-cubes containing a superlattice of NPs by means of focused ion beam etching, integrated an individual micro-cube to a thin-film coplanar waveguide and measured the resonant microwave response. Our work represents a major step towards well-defined magnonic metamaterials created from the self-assembly of magnetic nanoparticles.

Towards high-frequency negative permeability using magnonic crystals in metamaterial design
We investigate the magnonic properties of thin slabs of one-dimensional magnonic crystals with the aim of obtaining a structure that possesses negative permeability at high frequencies. Metamaterials of this kind could be used within devices based on the negative refractive index phenomenon. We calculate the relative excitation strengths of different spin-wave modes in one-dimensional magnonic ...
متن کاملEnhancement of spin-wave nonreciprocity in magnonic crystals via synthetic antiferromagnetic coupling
Spin-wave nonreciprocity arising from dipole-dipole interaction is insignificant for magnon wavelengths in the sub-100 nm range. Our micromagnetic simulations reveal that for the nanoscale magnonic crystals studied, such nonreciprocity can be greatly enhanced via synthetic antiferromagnetic coupling. The nonreciprocity is manifested as highly asymmetric magnon dispersion curves of the magnonic ...
متن کاملPhononic and magnonic dispersions of surface waves on a permalloy/BARC nanostructured array
Phononic and magnonic dispersions of a linear array of periodic alternating Ni80Fe20 and bottom anti-reflective coating nanostripes on a Si substrate have been measured using Brillouin light scattering. The observed phononic gaps are considerably larger than those of laterally patterned multi-component crystals previously reported, mainly a consequence of the high elastic and density contrasts ...
متن کاملSpin wave nonreciprocity and magnonic band structure in thin permalloy film induced by dynamical coupling with an array of Ni stripes
An efficient way for the control of spin wave propagation in a magnetic medium is the use of periodic patterns known as magnonic crystals (MCs). However, the fabrication of MCs especially bi-components, with periodicity on nanoscale, is a challenging task due to the requirement for sharp interfaces. An alternative method to circumvent this problem is to use homogeneous ferromagnetic film with m...
متن کاملWave modes of collective vortex gyration in dipolar-coupled-dot-array magnonic crystals
Lattice vibration modes are collective excitations in periodic arrays of atoms or molecules. These modes determine novel transport properties in solid crystals. Analogously, in periodical arrangements of magnetic vortex-state disks, collective vortex motions have been predicted. Here, we experimentally observe wave modes of collective vortex gyration in one-dimensional (1D) periodic arrays of m...
