A research team has taken a major step forward in the field of spintronics, a technology that uses not only the charge but also the spin of electrons to create faster, smarter, and more ...

Light beams of varying intensities (yellow cylinders) help visualize magnetic domains (light and dark areas), separated by domain walls (red lines). When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a ...

The rapid increase in electric vehicle adoption in recent years has highlighted a crucial issue: the energy conversion ...

Magnetic domains can take on a wide range of structures. In certain soft magnetic materials, they form complex zig-zag ...

For the first time, researchers have mapped how the boundaries of magnetic nanostructures behave on extremely short timescales. The work of physicist Johan Mentink of Radboud University shows that ...

(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 Kerr effect causes polarized light to rotate after interacting with magnetic domains in a material and enables the investigation of magnetized samples using Kerr microscopy. This method allows the ...

Researchers have discovered that magnetic domain walls in nanostructures remain far more stable under ultrafast laser pulses than previously believed. The finding, achieved through extreme ultraviolet ...

(Nanowerk News) When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a closer look. When magnets draw in physicists, they take a quantum look. Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University and the ...

Researchers discovered a new mechanism for faster, more efficient magnetic domain wall motion using dual spin torques in cobalt-iridium-platinum multilayers. In spintronic memory, information is ...
