Zoltan Fodor receives funding from DFG, BMBF. When the results of an experiment don’t match predictions made by the best theory of the day, something is off. Fifteen years ago, physicists at ...

Addition of iridium leads to increased electron localization and stronger spin-orbit coupling between 3d electrons of iron and cobalt and 5d electrons of iridium, significantly enhancing the magnetic ...

In the moiré material produced at ETH, the electron spins are disordered if there is exactly one electron per lattice site (left). As soon as there are more electrons than lattice sites (right) and ...

Today, the Muon g-2 Collaboration finally published the highly anticipated first result from its measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, a precision quantity that offers physicists ...

Magnetism is a property of matter that has been known to mankind for several thousand years, long before these properties could be described in a theory. In our everyday lives, we are used to ...

A team of researchers from the University of Michigan and Rutgers University has discovered a rotational form of spontaneous crystallographic ordering in a ferroic material. In their paper published ...

Muons continue to confound physicists. These unstable subatomic particles are much like familiar electrons, only with 200 times the mass and a fleeting lifetime of just 2.2 microseconds. Unlike ...

Since their relatively recent appearance on the commercial scene, rare-earth magnets have made quite a splash in the public imagination. The amount of magnetic energy packed into these tiny, shiny ...

Magnetic materials have become indispensable to various technologies that support our modern society, such as data storage ...
