Ferromagnets are characterized by a magnetization that has long been used to store information. The magnetization is largely due to localized electron spins with their associated magnetic moments ...

Electrons inherently carry both spin and orbital angular momentum (i.e., properties that help to understand the rotating motions and behavior of particles). While some physicists and engineers have ...

The National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) has succeeded in directly observing the "anisotropic magneto-Thomson effect," a phenomenon in which the heat absorption/release proportional to an ...

An electromagnet can be used to attempt to magnetize a few different cores, including a steel core, a soft iron one, and an aluminum one. Different objects can be picked up by the magnetizable cores, ...

A new technical paper titled “Efficient Magnetization Switching via Orbital-to-Spin Conversion in Cr/W-Based Heterostructures” by researchers at National Taiwan University and TSMC. “A highly ...
