The study highlights the critical role of demagnetizing fields and exchange energy in determining the FMR responses of 3D nanosystems, especially the strongly asymmetric distribution of the spin-wave mode over the system’s height. Importantly, the top–bottom dynamic switching of the surface mode localization across the structures in response to changes in magnetic field orientation provides a new method for controlling magnetization dynamics. The results demonstrate the critical role of the geometric features in dictating the dynamic magnetic behavior of three-dimensional nanostructures, paving the way for both experimental exploration and practical advances in 3D magnonics.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } Close By extending the current understanding and use of magnonics beyond conventional planar systems, we demonstrate the surface localization of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) modes through the design of complex three-dimensional nanostructures. Using micromagnetic simulations, we systematically investigate woodpile-like scaffolds and gyroids — periodic chiral entities characterized by their triple junctions.
