Three-dimensional artificial spin ice (3D-ASI) is a programmable nanoscale magnetic network showing emergent magnetic charge states with potential for reconfigurable dynamics. Here, we show that magnetic charge states in a 3D-ASI leave experimentally measurable charge-sensitive spectral signatures in the spin-wave spectrum, enabling charge-state readout via magnonics. Using Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy supported by micromagnetic simulations, we demonstrate that charged and charge-neutral vertices produce qualitatively distinct spin-wave spectra in a purely three-dimensional lattice. Spatially resolved mode analysis reveals that magnetic charges selectively control spin-wave localization and quantization, establishing a direct link between vertex microstate and dynamic response. We further demonstrate that configurational anisotropy inherent to the 3D architecture allows spin-wave reconfiguration by varying the orientation of an applied field. These results position spin-wave spectroscopy as a dynamic, noninvasive probe of magnetic charge states and open pathways to reprogrammable, low-power 3D magnonic and neuromorphic devices.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
