Laboratory of Nanoscale Magnetic Materials and Magnonics

The Laboratory of Nanostructures and Magnetic Materials (LMGN) at EPFL focuses on exploring magnetic nanomaterials for applications in information technology, sensing, and multifunctional devices. They study individual ferromagnetic nanostructures, magnonic crystals, artificial spin ice, quasicrystals, and skyrmion lattices to understand their fundamental properties and search for novel functionalities. By investigating microwave properties in the frequency regime from about 1 GHz to 1 THz, they aim to master collective spin excitations at the nanoscale. LMGN contributes to the research field of magnonics, which aims at data processing and transmission using spin waves in nanoengineered magnetic circuits.
