Dipole-dipole interaction in arrays of Fe/Fe_xO_y core/shell nanocubes probed by ferromagnetic resonance

This paper represents a detailed theoretical study of the role of the longrange magnetic dipole-dipole interaction evidenced by the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectra for the ordered arrays of cubic nanoparticles. We show that the size of the array essentially controls the stability of the system, allowing to suppress the intermittent low-field excitations starting from the arrays formed by 6x6 nanoparticles. Our numerical simulations allow to determine the threshold inter-particle distance (around 80 {\div} 100 nm), after which the dipole-dipole interaction becomes negligible so that the FMR spectrum of the nanoparticle arrays becomes the same as the spectrum featured by a single nanoparticle. We also compare our simulations with experimental FMR-spectra of 24 Fe/Fe$_x$O$_y$-nanocubes irregularly placed on a substrate.
