(Nanowerk News) Van der Waals (vdW) magnets and their heterostructures have emerged as new platforms to explore exotic magnetic orders and quantum phenomena. Yet combining two different magnetic ...

In the moiré material produced at ETH, the electron spins are disordered if there is exactly one electron per lattice site (left). As soon as there are more electrons than lattice sites (right) and ...

Traditional computer memory, known as DRAM, uses electric fields to store information. In DRAM, the presence or absence of an electric charge is indicated either by number 1 or number 0. Unfortunately ...

Multiferroics are a class of materials that exhibit more than one type of ferroic order simultaneously in a single phase. Ferroic orders include ferromagnetism (spontaneous magnetic ordering), ...

Exchange-coupled interfaces offer a powerful route to stabilising and enhancing ferromagnetic properties in two-dimensional materials, such as transition metal chalcogenides. These materials exhibit ...

Researchers simultaneously substituted calcium at the bismuth site and ruthenium or iridium at the iron site to suppress the cycloidal spin structure, enabling room-temperature weak ferromagnetism and ...
