Applications of nanomagnets as dynamical systems: II

Abstract

In Part I of this topical review, we discussed dynamical phenomena in nanomagnets, focusing primarily on magnetization reversal with an eye to digital applications. In this part, we address mostly wave-like phenomena in nanomagnets, with emphasis on spin waves in myriad nanomagnetic systems and methods of controlling magnetization dynamics in nanomagnet arrays which may have analog applications. We conclude with a discussion of some interesting spintronic phenomena that undergird the rich physics exhibited by nanomagnet assemblies.

Keywords: applications of nanomagnets; external control of magnetization processes; magnetization dynamics; nanomagnetism; spin waves; spintronics.
