Our research explores lateral confinement and coupling effects in nanomagnets through both experimental investigations and numerical modeling. In addition to being an exciting subject of study from a fundamental perspective, nanomagnets are also important for the advancement of technology, for example, in spintronics devices, storage media, and for medical applications. Our present work focuses on the magnetization reversal, spin excitations, and magneto-transport properties of patterned magnetic elements fabricated primarily using electron beam lithography.
