摘要:

人工自旋冰是相互作用的纳米磁体的周期性排列,成功地用于研究几何挫折存在下的涌现现象。最近,已经表明人工自旋冰可以用作创建功能材料(如磁振子晶体)的构建块,并支持大量可编程磁态。我们研究了由于局部破缺的结构反转对称性而表现出各向异性静磁相互作用的系统中的磁化动力学。我们发现了丰富的自旋波谱,并研究了它在外部磁场中的演化。我们确定个别模式的演变,从积木到更大的阵列,突出对称性破缺在定义模式配置文件中的作用。此外,我们表明,模式谱表现出在系统中的长程相互作用的签名。这些结果有助于理解自旋冰的磁化动力学超越了戈薇和正方形冰的几何形状,并为实现可重构磁振子晶体的自旋冰的基础上。

英文摘要:

Artificial spin ices are periodic arrangements of interacting nanomagnets successfully used to investigate emergent phenomena in the presence of geometric frustration. Recently, it has been shown that artificial spin ices can be used as building blocks for creating functional materials, such as magnonic crystals, and support a large number of programmable magnetic states. We investigate the magnetization dynamics in a system exhibiting anisotropic magnetostatic interactions owing to locally broken structural inversion symmetry. We find a rich spin-wave spectrum and investigate its evolution in an external magnetic field. We determine the evolution of individual modes, from building blocks up to larger arrays, highlighting the role of symmetry breaking in defining the mode profiles. Moreover, we demonstrate that the mode spectra exhibit signatures of long-range interactions in the system. These results contribute to the understanding of magnetization dynamics in spin ices beyond the kagome and square ice geometries and are relevant for the realization of reconfigurable magnonic crystals based on spin ices.
