Sets of nanomagnets are often utilized to mimic cellular automata in design of nanomagnetic logic devices or frustration and emergence of magnetic charges in artificial spin ice systems. in previous work we showed that unidirectional arrangement of nanomagnets can behave as artificial spin ice, with frustration arising from second neighbor dipolar interaction, and present good magnetic charge mobility due to the low string tension among charges. Here, we present an experimental investigation of magnetic charge population and mobility in function of lateral and longitudinal distance among nanomagnets. Our results corroborate partially the theoretical predictions, performed elsewhere by emergent interaction model, could be useful in nanomagnet logic devices design and brings new insights about the best design for magnetic charge ballistic transport under low external magnetic field with magnetic charge mobility tunning for application in magnetricity.

When magnets are fashioned into nanoscale elements, they exhibit a wide variety of phenomena replete with rich physics and the lure of tantalizing applications. In this topical review, we discuss some of these phenomena, especially those that have come to light recently, and highlight their potential applications. We emphasize what drives a phenomenon, what undergirds the dynamics of the system that exhibits the phenomenon, how the dynamics can be manipulated, and what specific features can be harnessed for technological advances. For the sake of balance, we point out both advantages and shortcomings of nanomagnet based devices and systems predicated on the phenomena we discuss. Where possible, we chart out paths for future investigations that can shed new light on an intriguing phenomenon and/or facilitate both traditional and non-traditional applications.
The magnetization of the prototypical molecular magnet Mn12-acetate exhibits a series of sharp steps at low temperatures due to quantum tunneling at specific resonant values of magnetic field applied along the easy c-axis. An abrupt reversal of the magnetic moment of such a crystal can also occur as an avalanche, where the spin reversal proceeds along a deflagration front that travels through the sample at subsonic speed. In this article we review experimental results that have been obtained for the ignition temperature and the speed of propagation of magnetic avalanches in molecular nanomagnets. Fits of the data with the theory of magnetic deflagration yield overall qualitative agreement. However, numerical discrepancies indicate that our understanding of these avalanches is incomplete.
We develop an analytical approach for studying the FMR frequency shift due to dipolar interactions and surface effects in two-dimensional arrays of nanomagnets with (effective) uniaxial anisotropy along the magnetic field. For this we build a general formalism on the basis of perturbation theory that applies to dilute assemblies but which goes beyond the point-dipole approximation as it takes account of the size and shape of the nano-elements, in addition to their separation and spatial arrangement. The contribution to the frequency shift due to the shape and size of the nano-elements has been obtained in terms of their aspect ratio, their separation and the lattice geometry. We have also varied the size of the array itself and compared the results with a semi-analytical model and reached an agreement that improves as the size of the array increases. We find that the red-shift of the ferromagnetic resonance due to dipolar interactions decreases for smaller arrays. Surface effects may induce either a blue-shift or a red-shift of the FMR frequency, depending on the crystal and magnetic properties of the nano-elements themselves. In particular, some configurations of the nano-elements assemblies may lead to a full compensation between surface effects and dipole interactions.
It is widely assumed that the dominant source of scattering in graphene is charged impurities in a substrate. We have tested this conjecture by studying graphene placed on various substrates and in high-k media. Unexpectedly, we have found no significant changes in carrier mobility either for different substrates or by using glycerol, ethanol and water as a top dielectric layer. This suggests that Coulomb impurities are not the scattering mechanism that limits the mean free path currently attainable for graphene on a substrate.
A model for describing structural pointlike defects in nanoscaled ferromagnetic materials is presented. Its details are explicitly developed whenever interacting with a vortex-like state comprised in a thin nanodisk. Among others, our model yields results for the vortex equilibrium position under the influence of several defects along with an external magnetic field in good qualitative agreement with experiments. We also discuss how such defects may affect the vortex motion, like its gyrotropic oscillation and dynamical polarization reversal.
