description The modulated field sweep ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectroscopy was used to study the magnetization dynamics in large arrays of interacting cubic nanomagnets. A 60nm thick permalloy (Ni80Fe20) thin films were patterned using a lift-off process into several large arrays of 60 x 60 nm2 nanostructures where the spacing between the magnetic nanocubes was varied to control the strength of dipolar coupling. Electron beam lithography was used for device patterning using lift-off. The permalloy films were deposited using magnetron sputtering. DC magnetic properties were evaluated using alternating gradient force magnetometer (AGFM). In the FMR measurements, the orientation of DC bias magnetic field was varied from the in-plane to out-of-plane with respect to the 2D plane of the arrays. The FMR peak splitting and multiple FMR modes were observed in the evolution of the FMR spectra as the function of the bias field orientation, and were strongly influenced by the nanomagnet geometry and the spacing between the nanomagnets. Two resonance modes, shape and lattice, were particularly well pronounced in the observed FMR spectra. These modes are characterized by effective demagnetizing factors representing different symmetries of the system of interacting nanomagnets. Micromagnetic modeling suggest that micromagnetic texture within the nanomagnets modulated by the stray fields from the neighbors correlates with the FMR spectra.
