MagIC – Magnonics, Interactions and Complexity: a multifunctional aspects of spin wave dynamics

The artificial patterning of nanoscale structures provides an excellent opportunity for modifying spectra of their excitations, and therefore for designing novel devices and metamaterials, with unforeseen properties useful for practical utilization. Magnetic materials with modulated properties enable control of the spin wave excitations and facilitate tunable spectra at microwave frequency range controlled via magnetic field. These excitations are at the core of magnonics, a research and technology field studying and utilizing spin waves. The international research effort enabled by the MagIC project was devoted to magnonics and its cross-disciplinary opportunities with photonics, phononics, superconductivity and electronics. The most prominent directions of research within MagIC were the exploration of nonlinear effects, control of the magnetic loss, development of theoretical models of the spin wave scattering at nanoscale, investigation of the effect of the broken periodicity and fractal structures on magnonic spectra, and exploitation of the interaction between elementary excitations of different nature in magnetic nanostructures. In accord with its main objective, the MagIC project was successfully conducted and the target was achieved. We formulated theoretical grounds for exploitation in magnonics of boundary conditions at the interfaces, established principal properties of magnonic quasicrystals, created new innovative interdisciplinary directions in research and technology, ranging from concepts of multifunctional photonic-magnonic, magneto-phononic and magnon-fluxonic elements, all tunable via magnetic field, to applications. The MagIC is a part of RISE program, thus main part of the activity was realized through the exchange visits of researchers between 4 EU and 5 Ukrainian research and academic institutions. We successfully fulfilled all secondments in the total of 168 person/months, realized by 53 researchers. The large number of exchange visits allowed to achieve research objectives, to transfer and exchange knowledge, and to establish collaborations that will last long after the end of the project.

Project objective

The artificial patterning of nanoscale structures provides an excellent opportunity for modifying spectra of their excitations, and therefore for designing materials with unforeseen properties. Newly created materials (photonic, magnonic or plasmonic) serve as promising candidates for technological applications in integrated devices with smart functionalities for optoelectronic applications, nanoscale thermal transport control, charge free storage and manipulation of information. Magnetic materials with periodically modulated properties, magnonic crystals (MCs) offer two main distinctive features from which the technology can benefit. Firstly, MCs facilitate tunable excitation spectra controlled via magnetic field. Secondly, being non-volatile materials they facilitate exploitation of the re-programmable properties. Hence, significant international research effort in MagIC is now devoted to the area of magnonics and its cross disciplinary opportunities with photonics, phononics and electronics. The frontiers of new ideas, pushing the limits of knowledge, will be developed. The most prominent directions of research are the exploration of nonlinear effects in MCs, tailoring effective damping, developing theoretical models of the spin wave scattering in nanoscale, investigating effects of the broken periodicity and fractal structures on magnonic spectra. Moreover, MagIC will exploit still unexplored directions of mutual coexistence of magnonic functionalities with these of photonic, plasmonic or phononic in a single nanostructure. The academic exchange (168 months of visits in 4 years) supplemented with abundant network and outreach activities will aim to continue existing collaboration, establishing new links, supporting multilateral transfer of knowledge and expertise among seven European and Ukraine research teams, striving to advance the aforementioned research fields, development of innovation and career for research and innovation staff members.
