A magnetic artificial honeycomb lattice comprising a multiplicity of connecting elements separated by hexagonal cylindrical pores, wherein: (a) the hexagonal cylindrical pores: (i) have widths that are substantially uniform and an average width that is in a range of about 15 nm to about 20 nm; and (ii) are substantially equispaced and have an average center-to-center distance that is in a range of about 25 nm to about 35 nm; and (b) the connecting elements comprise a magnetic material layer, and the connecting elements have: (i) lengths that are substantially uniform and an average length that is in a range of about 10 nm to about 15 nm; (ii) widths that are substantially uniform and an average width that is in a range of about 4 nm to 8 nm; and (iii) a thickness of the magnetic material layer that is substantially uniform and an average thickness that is in a range of about 2 nm to about 8 nm; and (c) the magnetic artificial honeycomb lattice has a surface area, disregarding the presence of the hexagonal cylindrical pores, that is in a range of about 100 mm.sup.2 to about 900 mm.sup.2.
