Coherent Spin Waves in Curved Ferromagnetic Nanocaps of a 3D‐Printed Magnonic Crystal

2025

Abstract

Coherent magnon modes in a truly 3D magnonic crystal have yet to be investigated. This scientific gap exists despite numerous theoretical predictions of miniband formation and edge modes with topological protection. Such properties are key to advancing nanomagnonics for ultrafast data processing. In this work, a scalable nanotechnology for fabricating 3D magnonic crystals embedded in an on‐chip microresonator is presented. It is realized by two‐photon lithography of a 3D woodpile structure and atomic layer deposition of 30‐nm‐thick nickel film. Operated near 14 and 24 GHz, the microresonator output revealed numerous coherent magnons with distinct angular dependencies reflecting the underlying face‐centered cubic lattice. Micromagnetic simulations show that the edge modes are localized within curved nanocaps and remain robust against changes in field orientation. Along an edge, they exhibit an unexpected phase evolution. These findings advance the development of functional microwave circuits with 3D magnonic crystals and strengthen their visionary prospects for edge‐dominated magnon modes.

Metamaterial

A metamaterial (from the Greek word μετά meta, meaning "beyond" or "after", and the Latin word materia, meaning "matter" or "material") is any material engineered to have a property that is rarely observed in naturally occurring materials. They are made from assemblies of multiple elements fashioned from composite materials such as metals and plastics. These materials are usually arranged in repeating patterns, at scales that are smaller than the wavelengths of the phenomena they influence.

Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology, often shortened to nanotech, is the use of matter on atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scales for industrial purposes. The earliest, widespread description of nanotechnology referred to the particular technological goal of precisely manipulating atoms and molecules for fabrication of macroscale products, also now referred to as molecular nanotechnology. A more generalized description of nanotechnology was subsequently established by the National Nanotechnology Initiative, which defined nanotechnology as the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers (nm).

Applications of nanotechnology

The applications of nanotechnology, commonly incorporate industrial, medicinal, and energy uses. These include more durable construction materials, therapeutic drug delivery, and higher density hydrogen fuel cells that are environmentally friendly. Being that nanoparticles and nanodevices are highly versatile through modification of their physiochemical properties, they have found uses in nanoscale electronics, cancer treatments, vaccines, hydrogen fuel cells, and nanographene batteries.
