Ferromagnets are characterized by a magnetization that has long been used to store information. The magnetization is largely due to localized electron spins with their associated magnetic moments ...

Electrons inherently carry both spin and orbital angular momentum (i.e., properties that help to understand the rotating motions and behavior of particles). While some physicists and engineers have ...

Research from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities gives new insight into a material that could make computer memory faster and more energy-efficient. The study was recently published in Advanced ...

A new technical paper titled “Efficient Magnetization Switching via Orbital-to-Spin Conversion in Cr/W-Based Heterostructures” by researchers at National Taiwan University and TSMC. “A highly ...

An electromagnet can be used to attempt to magnetize a few different cores, including a steel core, a soft iron one, and an aluminum one. Different objects can be picked up by the magnetizable cores, ...

A diagram of the material developed using on-axis magnetron sputtering. By applying a current through the platinum material on top of the TmIG, researchers were able to reverse the magnetization ...
