Scientists have made significant strides in visualizing and manipulating tiny magnetic regions in quantum materials using light.
This breakthrough not only deepens understanding of magnetic materials at the quantum level but also advances the development of next-generation electronics and memory devices by exploring antiferromagnets, which exhibit unique properties that make them ideal for such applications.
Quantum Magnetism
When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a closer look. When magnets draw in physicists, they take a quantum look.
Researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University and the University of Tokyo have made strides in using light to both visualize and manipulate small magnetic regions called magnetic domains in a quantum material. By applying an electric field, they were able to control these domains, enhancing our understanding of magnetic materials at the quantum level, and paving the way for future technological advances.
