Ferromagnets are magnetized permanently in domains that are either parallel or antiparallel to the easy axis directions. The magnetization direction can be manipulated using external magnetic ...

Most people are familiar with ferromagnets. These have a strong, permanent magnetic field. They are used in everything from fridge magnets and compasses to the motors in electric cars. A ...

An international team led by researchers at the University of California, Riverside, has made a significant breakthrough in how to enable and exploit ultra-fast spin behavior in ferromagnets.

A research team has succeeded in inducing ferromagnetism, a key property of conventional magnets, in pure vanadium oxide, a compound not previously recognized for such magnetic behavior. Through a ...

Ferromagnets are the type of magnets that stick to the fridge: here spins point in the same direction, giving macroscopic magnetism. In antiferromagnetic materials, spins point in alternating ...

In contrast, a special class of materials called anti-ferromagnets, made up with magnetic poles on adjacent atoms aligned oppositely, are emerging to be important for future memory technology.

Crack open a physics textbook and you may read that scientists classify magnetic materials into two main types: ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. Ferromagnets are what most people think of when ...

Zigzag scientists: NUS researchers Lu Jiong (centre), Song Shaotang (right) and PhD student Teng Yu (left) were part of the multidisciplinary research team that developed the Janus graphene ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory discovered that they could functionalize magnetic materials through a thoroughly unlikely method, by adding amounts of the virtually ...

Physicists in Europe and the US have discovered a new type of negative-refractive-index material that is made from layers of superconducting and ferromagnetic thin films. Until now, negative ...
