Nano-Scale Devices for Frequency-Based Magnetic Biosensing

Abstract

This research proposal will investigate three aims for magnetic nanoparticles: 1. Probe nanoparticle-induced changes to nano-confined modes of resonant magnetization dynamics in an easily-probed, large area system under various external magnetic field strengths and orientations. 2. Probe nanoparticle induced changes to the resonance of the magnetic vortex state in a simple, isolated micro-structure. The vortex state naturally arises in in-plane magnetized discs having sizes on the order of 0.1 microns to a few microns. 3. Demonstrate frequency-based sensing with a direct-current-driven nano-device
