Ferromagnetism

Researchers at Penn State have introduced a groundbreaking material fusion that enables a new form of superconductivity, crucial for advancing quantum computing and exploring the theoretical chiral Majorana particles. Their study demonstrates how combining magnetic materials can lead to emergent superconductivity, marking a significant leap in creating chiral topological superconductors and potentially unlocking new avenues in quantum computing research.A new fusion of materials, each with special electrical properties,…

Researchers have successfully altered magnetism in a crystal by applying pressure. This method, which varies the magnetic interactions in a crystal lattice, could revolutionize data storage and quantum computing by controlling geometrical frustration and magnetic properties.Magnetism is influenced by the behavior of electrons. For instance, these tiny particles can create an electric current using their charge, which in turn can produce a magnetic field. Additionally, magnetism can emerge from the coordinated alignment of…

Scientists from Newcastle University, as part of an international team, have made a groundbreaking discovery by providing the first experimental evidence of vacuum decay. This achievement, pivotal for understanding the early universe and fundamental physics, was observed in a supercooled gas near absolute zero and has set the stage for further research in quantum field phenomena.An experiment carried out in Italy, backed by theoretical support from Newcastle University, has produced the first experimental evidence of…

Magnetic spins in YTiO3 are synchronized by THz light, leading to a stronger and higher temperature ferromagnetic phase. Credit: © Jörg Harms, MPSDResearchers have used terahertz light pulses to induce ferromagnetism in a crystal at temperatures far above its normal transition temperature, paving the way for optically controlled memory and computing devices with higher speed and efficiency.Scientists in Germany and the USA have shown for the first time that terahertz (THz) light pulses can stabilize ferromagnetism in a…
