The study of meta-materials is a booming area of
modern science aiming at creation of novel properties and functionalities via
designing resonances of the meta-materials constituent elements (artificial
atoms).
Magnonics is a young field of research and
technology emerging at the interfaces between the study of spin dynamics, on
one hand, and a number of other fields of nanoscale science and technology, on
the other.
The objective of the MAGNONICS project is to
bring together several European research teams with a broad range of
fabrication, characterization, and theory expertise in order to realize practically
a new class of meta-materials - magnonic meta-materials.
