Description
Summary:We demonstrate a reliable method for realizing various antiferromagnetic states in lithographically defined, dipolar coupled rhomboid nanomagnets. We directly probe the remanent state using magnetic force microscopy and measured the microwave absorptions using broadband ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy technique. Reprogrammable microwave absorption properties are shown by switching between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic remanent states using a simple field initialization. There is a direct correlation between the magnetic remanent states and the microwave responses. Experimental results were supported by micromagnetic simulations which show a good agreement. The results may find applications in low power magnonic devices based on reprogrammable magnetic metamaterials.
