A team of researchers led by Colorado State University graduate student Luke Wernert and Associate Professor Hua Chen has discovered a new kind of Hall effect that could enable more energy-efficient ...

The field of spintronics has, so far, focused on magnetic systems with uncompensated order, i.e. ferromagnets and ferrimagnets. Both these systems can be easily studied using conventional techniques, ...

Quasicrystals (QCs) are fascinating solid materials that exhibit an intriguing atomic arrangement. Unlike regular crystals, in which atomic arrangements have an ordered repeating pattern, QCs display ...

Conventional electronic devices rely on the generation, transport, manipulation, and detection of electric charge carriers, such as electrons and holes. Spintronics employs the intrinsic angular ...

In some materials, spins form complex magnetic structures within the nanometre and micrometre scale in which the magnetization direction twists and curls along specific directions. Examples of such ...

The challenge of fabricating nanowires directly on silicon substrates for the creation of the next generation of electronics has finally been solved. Next generation spintronics will lead to better ...
