Abstract
Magnonics is an emerging research field that addresses the use of spin waves (magnons), purely magnetic waves, for information transport and processing. Spin waves are a potential replacement for electric current in novel computational devices that would make them more compact and energy efficient. The field is yet little known, even among physicists. Additionally, with the development of new measuring techniques and computational physics, the obtained magnetic data becomes more complex, in some cases including 3D vector fields and time-resolution. This work presents an approach to the audio-visual representation of the spin waves and discusses its use as a tool for science communication exhibits and possible data analysis tool. The work also details an instance of such an exhibit presented at the annual international digital art exhibition Ars Electronica Festival in 2022.
