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.
