Graphene is a marvelous material with remarkable properties resulting from the single layer of carbon atoms. However, a major disadvantage is that the light carbon atoms have very small spin-orbit interaction. A recent letter in Nature……
The efficient production of spin-polarized currents at room temperature is fundamental to the advancement of spintronics. Spin-polarized currents can be generated several ways: by passing an unpolarized current through a…

The demand for rare-earth elements is currently outstripping supply and leading to what is known popularly in the press as the “rare earth crisis”. This demand arises from the many applications for rare-earth element including the rare-earth……
Magnetostructural materials exhibit simultaneous magnetic and structural phase changes of an abrupt and hysteretic nature that are fundamentally different from the canonical ferromagnetic transition of second-order thermodynamic……
Magnetic nanoparticle-based microfluidic separation of circulating tumor cell populations enables understanding of the spreading of cancer and fosters development of various drug strategies. In this work we developed a microfluidic……
A goal of research in topological insulators (TI) is to imbue them with magnetism. Doing this in the right way leads to a semiconductor that is nearly superconducting, through the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE). The figure shows……
Exchange anisotropy is a unique type of magnetic anisotropy that originates from a quantum mechanical exchange interaction at the interface of a ferromagnetic (FM) material and an antiferromagnetic (AF) material. This interaction……
Local magnetic interactions between magnetic components exchange-spring systems strongly depend upon the chemical and topographical nature of the interface. Relationships between the exchange coupling, the microstructure……
