Extending nanostructures into the third dimension has become a major research avenue in modern magnetism, superconductivity and spintronics, because of geometry-, curvature- and topology-induced phenomena. Here, we introduce Co-Fe nanovolcanoes-nanodisks overlaid by nanorings-as purpose-engineered 3D architectures for nanomagnonics, fabricated by focused electron beam induced deposition. We use both perpendicular spin-wave resonance measurements and micromagnetic simulations to demonstrate that the rings encircling the volcano craters harbor the highest-frequency eigenmodes, while the lower-frequency eigenmodes are concentrated within the volcano crater, due to the non-uniformity of the internal magnetic field. By varying the crater diameter, we demonstrate the deliberate tuning of higher-frequency eigenmodes without affecting the lowest-frequency mode. Thereby, the extension of 2D nanodisks into the third dimension allows one to engineer their lowest eigenfrequency by using 3D nanovolcanoes with 30% smaller footprints. The presented nanovolcanoes can be viewed as multi-mode microwave resonators and 3D building blocks for nanomagnonics.

Media with engineered magnetization are essential building blocks in superconductivity, magnetism and magnon spintronics. However, the established thin-film and lithographic techniques insufficiently suit the realization of planar components with on- demand-tailored magnetization in the lateral dimension. Here, we demonstrate the engineering of the magnetic properties of CoFe-based nanodisks fabricated by the mask-less technique of focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID). The material composition in the nanodisks is tuned emph{in-situ} via the e-beam waiting time in the FEBID process and their post-growth irradiation with Ga ions. The magnetization $M_s$ and exchange stiffness $A$ of the disks are deduced from perpendicular ferromagnetic resonance measurements. The achieved $M_s$ variation in the broad range from $720$ emu/cm$^3$ to $1430$ emu/cm$^3$ continuously bridges the gap between the $M_s$ values of such widely used magnonic materials as permalloy and CoFeB. The presented approach paves a way towards nanoscale 2D and 3D systems with controllable and space-varied magnetic properties.
Building nanotechnological analogues of naturally occurring magnetic structures has proven to be a powerful approach to studying topics like geometry-induced magnetic frustration and to provide model systems for statistical physics. Moreover, it prac tically allows to engineer novel physical properties by realizing artificial lattice geometries that are not accessible via natural crystallization or chemical synthesis. This has been accomplished with great success in the field of two-dimensional artificial spin ice systems with important branches reaching into the field of magnetic logic devices. Although first proposals have been made to advance into three dimensions (3D), established nanofabrication pathways based on electron beam lithography have not been adapted to obtain free-form 3D nanostructures. Here we demonstrate the direct-write fabrication of freestanding ferromagnetic 3D nano-architectures with full control over the degree of magnetic frustration. By employing micro-Hall sensing, we have determined the magnetic stray field generated by our free-form structures in an externally applied magnetic field and we have performed micromagnetic and macro-spin simulations to deduce the spatial magnetization profiles in the structures and analyze their switching behavior. Furthermore we show that the magnetic 3D elements can be combined with other 3D elements of different chemical composition and intrinsic material properties.
In this work, we study experimentally by broadband ferromagnetic resonance measurements, the dependence of the spin-wave excitation spectra on the magnetic applied field in CoFeB meander-shaped films. Two different orientations of the external magnet ic field were explored, namely parallel or perpendicular to the lattice cores. The interpretation of the field dependence of the frequency and spatial profiles of major spin-wave modes were obtained by micromagnetic simulations. We show that the vertical segments lead to the easy-axis type of magnetic anisotropy and support the in-phase and out-of-phase spin-wave precession amplitude in the vertical segments. The latter could potentially be used for the design of tunable metasurfaces or in magnetic memories based on meandering 3D magnetic films.
Magnonics is seen nowadays as a candidate technology for energy-efficient data processing in classical and quantum systems. Pronounced nonlinearity, anisotropy of dispersion relations and phase degree of freedom of spin waves require advanced methodo logy for probing spin waves at room as well as at mK temperatures. Yet, the use of the established optical techniques like Brillouin light scattering (BLS) or magneto optical Kerr effect (MOKE) at ultra-low temperatures is forbiddingly complicated. By contrast, microwave spectroscopy can be used at all temperatures but is usually lacking spatial and wavenumber resolution. Here, we develop a variable-gap propagating spin-wave spectroscopy (VG-PSWS) method for the deduction of the dispersion relation of spin waves in wide frequency and wavenumber range. The method is based on the phase-resolved analysis of the spin-wave transmission between two antennas with variable spacing, in conjunction with theoretical data treatment. We validate the method for the in-plane magnetized CoFeB and YIG thin films in $kperp B$ and $kparallel B$ geometries by deducing the full set of material and spin-wave parameters, including spin-wave dispersion, hybridization of the fundamental mode with the higher-order perpendicular standing spin-wave modes and surface spin pinning. The compatibility of microwaves with low temperatures makes this approach attractive for cryogenic magnonics at the nanoscale.
The semiconductor-metal junction is one of the most critical factors for high performance electronic devices. In two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor devices, minimizing the voltage drop at this junction is particularly challenging and important. Despi te numerous studies concerning contact resistance in 2D semiconductors, the exact nature of the buried interface under a three-dimensional (3D) metal remains unclear. Herein, we report the direct measurement of electrical and optical responses of 2D semiconductor-metal buried interfaces using a recently developed metal-assisted transfer technique to expose the buried interface which is then directly investigated using scanning probe techniques. We characterize the spatially varying electronic and optical properties of this buried interface with < 20 nm resolution. To be specific, potential, conductance and photoluminescence at the buried metal/MoS2 interface are correlated as a function of a variety of metal deposition conditions as well as the type of metal contacts. We observe that direct evaporation of Au on MoS2 induces a large strain of ~5% in the MoS2 which, coupled with charge transfer, leads to degenerate doping of the MoS2 underneath the contact. These factors lead to improvement of contact resistance to record values of 138 kohm-um, as measured using local conductance probes. This approach was adopted to characterize MoS2-In/Au alloy interfaces, demonstrating contact resistance as low as 63 kohm-um. Our results highlight that the MoS2/Metal interface is sensitive to device fabrication methods, and provides a universal strategy to characterize buried contact interfaces involving 2D semiconductors.
