Linear and nonlinear magnetization dynamics in permalloy thin films grown on DNA origami and nanopatterned permalloy/YIG hybrid structures

Andrea Mucchietto

Spin waves (SWs) are collective excitations of the spin ensemble in systems with magnetic order. In quantum mechanics, a SW is known as a magnon, which is the quasiparticle describing the quantized nature of these wave-like excitations. Magnonics is the re ...
