Granular magnetic films comprise nanoscale ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic particles embedded within a non-magnetic or dielectric matrix, forming a composite architecture that combines magnetic, ...

Ultrafast magnetization dynamics in thin magnetic films explores how the orientation and magnitude of magnetisation evolve on femtosecond to picosecond timescales under the influence of ultrashort ...

The electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional materials both have strong potential for technological applications. Researchers have long assumed that they are distinct phenomena, but ...

A research team has demonstrated that thin films of ruthenium dioxide (RuO₂) exhibit altermagnetism—the defining property of what is now recognized as the third fundamental class of magnetic materials ...

(A) a single magnetic domain and (B) multiple magnetic domains with opposite polarization. (C) Following the subtraction of image (A) from image (B), a Kerr image with sharp contrast is obtained [39].

The rules about magnetic order may need to be rewritten. Researchers have discovered that chromium selenide (Cr 2 Se 3)—traditionally non-magnetic in bulk form—transforms into a magnetic material when ...

Magnetic skyrmions are stable quasi-particles that can be generated in (some) ferromagnetic materials with conceivable solutions in electronics, assuming they can be created and moved at will. The ...

The next generation of soft robots might be folding and sliding as effortlessly as living tissue, say a team of engineers who have created "magnetic muscles" with 3D printing. Filling elastic, ...

The rules about magnetic order may need to be rewritten. An international team of researchers found that it was possible to turn a non-magnetic material into a magnetic material by slicing it into ...

In 1966, Mermin and Wagner theoretically predicted that while ferromagnetic order can be stabilized in three-dimensional systems, it cannot be sustained in two-dimensional isotropic systems due to ...
