The expansion of nanomagnetism into the third dimension provides exciting opportunities beyond the physics of planar systems. Here, we experimentally explore the magnetic properties of three-dimensional double-helix (DH) nanostructures, which can host an exotic magnetic configuration featuring pairs of highly coupled domain walls(CDWs). Here we consider the magnetization dynamics on the nanosecond time-scale within the 3D-DH nanostructure. Specifically, we harness three-dimensional nanofabrication techniques to manufacture cobalt nano-double-helices onto striplines and subject them to high-frequency magnetic field excitations. Utilizing time-resolved scanning transmission X-ray microscopy, we map the magnetization dynamics on the three-dimensional nanostructure in real space, revealing localized enhanced dynamics in the positions of CDWs within the DH conduit, that depend on the geometry of the nanostructure and the excitation. These initial findings provide exciting insight into the physics and opportunities for the future of 3D magnetization dynamics.
