Abstract
Artificial spin ice structures which are networks of coupled nanomagnets arranged on different lattices that exhibit a number of interesting phenomena are promising for future information processing. We report reconfigurable microwave properties in artificial spin ice structures with three different lattice symmetries namely square, kagome, and triangle. Magnetization dynamics are systematically investigated using field angle dependent ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Two distinct ferromagnetic resonance modes are observed in square spin ice structures in contrast with the three well-separated modes in kagome and triangular spin ice structures that are spatially localized at the center of the individual nanomagnets. A simple rotation of the sample placed in magnetic field results in the merging and splitting of the modes due to the different orientations of the nanomagnets with respect to the applied magnetic field. Magnetostatic interactions are found to shift the mode positions after comparing the microwave responses from the array of nanomagnets with control simulations with isolated nanomagnets. Moreover, the extent of the mode splitting has been studied by varying the thickness of the lattice structures. The results have potential implications for microwave filter-type applications which can be operated for a wide range of frequencies with ease of tunability. © 2023 IOP Publishing Ltd.
