Abstract

We present a detailed theoretical study of the role of long-range dipole-dipole interactions on the angular dependence of ferromagnetic resonance spectra in a two-dimensional array of nanocubes. Variations of polar (φ) and azimuthal (θ) angles are studied numerically and analytically to illustrate the effect of the magnetocrystalline properties and the dipole-dipole interactions, forming complex resonance bands. In addition, we show that when the static magnetic field lies in the arrays’ plane under the angle of 129° with the edge of the array or when its tilted around 15° to the plane’s normal, the spectra of absorption transform into a plateau spanning from 0.1 T to 0.4 T, which is prominent enough for experimental observation.
