An international team of researchers from the University of California, Riverside; the Institute of Magnetism in Kyiv, Ukraine; and Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland, has developed a comprehensive manual for engineering spin dynamics in nanomagnets – an important step toward advancing spintronic and quantum-information technologies. Despite their small size, nanomagnets – found in most spintronic applications – reveal rich dynamics of spin excitations, or "magnons," which are the quantum-mechanical units of spin fluctuations.
