Three-Dimensional Magnonics

"Magnonics is a relatively new subfield of modern condensed matter physics, with strong connections to material science and device fabrication in electrical engineering. Just as phonons are the quanta of sound in a solid material, magnons are the quantized excitations of the magnetic field in a solid; the classical counterpart of a magnon is a spin wave. Magnonics aims to harness magnons to transport and process information in a way similar to the way modern electronics uses electrons. Magnonics typically uses designed materials to work towards a goal of useful, mass-produced devices. This volume is a collection of eleven chapters, each written by a different group of experts in the field, all of whom are working to move magnonics from the study of two-dimensional materials, which has dominated the field, to fully three-dimensional structures. The book will be of interest primarily to experimental researchers and graduate students working on magnonics, as well as those working in related areas such as spintronics and nanotechnology. Institutions with broad, active research programs in condensed matter physics or quantum information might also acquire this book as a resource and reference."

“This book demonstrates how multicomponent materials incorporating magnetically ordered systems provide novel perspectives in nanomagnonics. It substantiates the unprecedented control over spin waves in one, two, and three dimensions in solids that collective spin excitations offer for fundamental research and microwave applications. Due to its balanced consideration of experimental and theoretical aspects, this book will inspire both experimentalists and theoreticians from physics, materials science, and electrical engineering.”

“Although magnonics is an important emerging field of nanomagnetism, there are few books on the topic. G. Gubbiotti has done a great job by having collected contributions of the most important players in this field. I greatly enjoyed reading this book, which covers not only the fundamental ideas of magnonics but also several foci, such as Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction and spin waves in 3D nanostructures. The book is interesting for both young people just starting their career in magnetism and researchers who are active in magnonics and magnetic dynamics in general.”
