Circularly polarized light revealed the different magnetic domains created by the time reversal symmetry breaking, while horizontally or vertically polarized X-rays allowed the team to measure the ...

In partnership with Argonne National Laboratory, researchers are leading the world in developing unique electron microscopy facilities to image magnetic domain behavior and to probe magneto-transport ...

Altermagnets, which were discovered in 2024, are different. While their neighbouring spins ... “and this can be used to map the magnetic domains in the material with unprecedented detail.” Using this ...

Rather, when the magnetic field is applied, different regions, or so-called domains, influence others nearby, and the changes spread across the material in a clumpy fashion. Scientists often ...

Researchers have found evidence for the existence of a third class of magnetism — altermagnetism. The discovery will make it ...

By combining the results of both experiments, the researchers created the first-ever map of the different magnetic domains and structures within an altermagnetic material. With this proof of ...

"Ferromagnetism, where the magnetic ... materials. "The benefit of ferromagnets is that we have an easy way of reading and writing memory using these up or down domains," study co-author Alfred ...
