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 ...

Researchers have established a low-cost method of magnetization reversal on perpendicularly magnetized ferromagnets. Not needing an external magnetic field, the method brings reverse magnetization ...

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 ...

Scientists of Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) in collaboration with colleagues from South Ural State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an alternative method for ...

Spintronics -- based on the principles of electron charge and magnetic spin -- goes beyond the limits of conventional electronics. However, spintronic devices are yet to see advances, because ...

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, ...

Researchers have managed to visualize two distinct mechanisms in which magnetism can switch within antiferromagnetic ...

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 ...

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 ...
