We present a study by ferromagnetic resonance at microwave Q band of two sheets of cobalt nanoparticles obtained by annealing SiO2 layers implanted with cobalt ions. This ex- perimental study is performed as a function of the applied magnetic field orientation, tempera- ture, and dose of implanted cobalt ions. We demonstrate that each of those magnetic sheet of cobalt nanoparticles can be well modelled by a nearly two dimensional ferromagnetic sheet hav- ing a reduced effective saturation magnetization, compared to a regular thin film of cobalt. The nanoparticles are found superparamagnetic above around 210 K and ferromagnetic below this blocking temperature. Magnetostatic calculations show that a strong magnetic field gradient of around 0.1 G/nm could be produced by a ferromagnetic nanostripe patterned in such magnetic sheet of cobalt nanoparticles. Such a strong magnetic field gradient combined with electron para- magnetic resonance may be relevant for implementing an intermediate scale quantum computer based on arrays of coupled electron spins, as previously reported (Eur. Phys. J. B (2014) 87, 183). However, this new approach only works if no additional spin decoherence is introduced by the spin waves exitations of the ferromagnetic nanostructure. We thus suggest theoretically some possible magnetic anisotropy engineering of cobalt nanoparticles that could allow to suppress the spin qubit decoherence induced by the unwanted collective excitation of their spins.

Biosensing with ferromagnet-based magnetoresistive devices has been dominated by electrical detection of particle-induced changes to the devices static magnetic configuration. There are however potential advantages to be gained from using field dependent, high frequency magnetization dynamics for magnetic particle detection. Here we demonstrate the use of nano-confined ferromagnetic resonances in periodically patterned magnetic films for the detection of adsorbed magnetic particles with diameters ranging from 6 nm to 4 $mu$m. The nanopatterned films contain arrays of holes which can act as preferential adsorption sites for small particles. Hole-localized particles act in unison to shift the resonant frequencies of the various modes of the patterned layer with shift polarities determined by the localization of each mode within the nanopatterns repeating unit cell. The same polarity shifts are observed for a large range of coverages, even when hole-localized particles are covered by quasi-continuous particle sheets. For large particles however, preferential adsorption no longer occurs, leading to resonance shifts with polarities which are independent of the mode localization. Analogous shifts are seen in continuous layers where, for small particles, the shift of the layers fundamental mode is typically about 10 times less than in patterned systems and induced by relatively weak fields emanating beyond the particle in the direction of the static applied field. This highlights the importance of having confined modes consistently positioned with respect to nearby particles.
We address the theory of the coupled lattice and magnetization dynamics of freely suspended single-domain nanoparticles. Magnetic anisotropy generates low-frequency satellite peaks in the microwave absorption spectrum and a blueshift of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) frequency. The low-frequency resonances are very sharp with maxima exceeding that of the FMR, because their magnetic and mechanical precessions are locked, thereby suppressing Gilbert damping. Magnetic nanoparticles can operate as nearly ideal motors that convert electromagnetic into mechanical energy. The Barnett/Einstein-de Haas effect is significant even in the absence of a net rotation.
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have excellent magnetic-temperature characteristic. However, current temperature measurement based on MNPs is interfered by concentration. Utilizing the electron spin resonance (ESR), we propose a highly sensitive temperature measurement method without concentration coupling. The anisotropic field is affected by temperature, thus affecting the g-value. The influence of the MNP concentration, size, and the data analysis method on temperature estimation are studied. The optimal temperature sensitivity is achieved with 15-nm MNPs while Gaussian smoothing method allows an optimal accuracy at Fe concentration of 5 mg/ml with a root mean squared error of 0.07 K.
We demonstrate a technique of broadband spin torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) with magnetic field modulation for measurements of spin wave properties in magnetic nanostructures. This technique gives great improvement in sensitivity over the conventional ST-FMR measurements, and application of this technique to nanoscale magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) reveals a rich spectrum of standing spin wave eigenmodes. Comparison of the ST-FMR measurements with micromagnetic simulations of the spin wave spectrum allows us to explain the character of low-frequency magnetic excitations in nanoscale MTJs.
We study the deterministic and stochastic rotational dynamics of ferromagnetic nanoparticles in a precessing magnetic field. Our approach is based on the system of effective Langevin equations and on the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation. Two key characteristics of the rotational dynamics, the average angular frequency of precession of nanoparticles and their average magnetization, are of our interest. Using the Langevin and Fokker-Planck equations, we calculate both analytically and numerically these characteristics in the deterministic and stochastic cases, determine their dependence on the model parameters, and analyze in detail the role of thermal fluctuations.
