Physicists Report New Insights into Exotic Particles Key to Magnetism

September 3, 2024 Editorial Staff Comments Off on Physicists Report New Insights into Exotic Particles Key to Magnetism

MIT physicists and colleagues report new insights into exotic particles key to a form of magnetism that has attracted growing interest because it originates from ultrathin materials only a few atomic layers thick. The work, which could impact future electronics and more, also establishes a new way to study these particles through a powerful instrument at the National Synchrotron Light Source II at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Mechanisms of Electrical Switching in Antiferromagnets

July 30, 2024 Editorial Staff Comments Off on Mechanisms of Electrical Switching in Antiferromagnets

A study lead by researchers from the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz proves that switching in antiferromagnet is controlled by the combination of two mechanisms when those materials are subjected to a current pulse. Researchers imaged antiferromagnets, which are considered very promising materials for future spintronic applications such as data storage and computation, at the PEEM end station of the CIRCE beamline at ALBA.

Astroid Clocking: A New Method to Control Magnetic Dynamics in Nanomagnets

July 18, 2024 Editorial Staff Comments Off on Astroid Clocking: A New Method to Control Magnetic Dynamics in Nanomagnets

Researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology found a new way to make small, targeted changes in a magnetic system called artificial spin ice (ASI). ASIs are materials with a wide range of emergent properties, such as computation. Controlling when, where, and how their magnetic domains change can be crucial for technological applications like physical reservoir computing […]
