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.

As conductors in electronic applications shrink, microscopic conduction processes lead to strong deviations from Ohms law. Depending on the length scales of momentum conserving ($l_{MC}$) and relaxing ($l_{MR}$) electron scattering, and the device si
ze ($d$), current flows may shift from ohmic to ballistic to hydrodynamic regimes and more exotic mixtures thereof. So far, an in situ, in-operando methodology to obtain these parameters self-consistently within a micro/nanodevice, and thereby identify its conduction regime, is critically lacking. In this context, we exploit Sondheimer oscillations, semi-classical magnetoresistance oscillations due to helical electronic motion, as a method to obtain $l_{MR}$ in micro-devices even when $l_{MR}gg d$. This gives information on the bulk $l_{MR}$ complementary to quantum oscillations, which are sensitive to all scattering processes. We extract $l_{MR}$ from the Sondheimer amplitude in the topological semi-metal WP$_2$, at elevated temperatures up to $Tsim 50$~K, in a range most relevant for hydrodynamic transport phenomena. Our data on micrometer-sized devices are in excellent agreement with experimental reports of the large bulk $l_{MR}$ and thus confirm that WP$_2$ can be microfabricated without degradation. Indeed, the measured scattering rates match well with those of theoretically predicted electron-phonon scattering, thus supporting the notion of strong momentum exchange between electrons and phonons in WP$_2$ at these temperatures. These results conclusively establish Sondheimer oscillations as a quantitative probe of $l_{MR}$ in micro-devices in studying non-ohmic electron flow.
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 n
anomagnets 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.
The conventional theory of solids is well suited to describing band structures locally near isolated points in momentum space, but struggles to capture the full, global picture necessary for understanding topological phenomena. In part of a recent pa
per [B. Bradlyn et al., Nature 547, 298 (2017)], we have introduced the way to overcome this difficulty by formulating the problem of sewing together many disconnected local k-dot-p band structures across the Brillouin zone in terms of graph theory. In the current manuscript we give the details of our full theoretical construction. We show that crystal symmetries strongly constrain the allowed connectivities of energy bands, and we employ graph-theoretic techniques such as graph connectivity to enumerate all the solutions to these constraints. The tools of graph theory allow us to identify disconnected groups of bands in these solutions, and so identify topologically distinct insulating phases.
The approximate location in the Zaanen-Sawatzky-Allen diagram of the phase-separated (Ga,Mn)As material, consisting of MnAs nanoclusters embedded in GaAs, is determined on the basis of configuration-interaction (CI) cluster-model analysis of their Mn
2p core-level photoemission. The composite material is found to belong to the special class of materials with negative charge-transfer energy (delta). As such, its metallic or insulating/semiconducting behavior depends on the strength of the p-d hybridization (affected by strain) relative to the (size-dependent) p-bandwidth. Whereas internal strain in the embedded clusters counteracts gap opening, a metal-to-semiconductor transition is expected to occur for decreasing cluster size, associated to the opening of a small gap of p-p type (covalent gap). The electronic properties of homogeneous and phase-separated (Ga,Mn)As materials are analyzed, with emphasis on the nature of their metal-insulator transitions.
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 m
agnetic 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.
