Researchers are gaining new insights into magnetism and electronic interactions in advanced materials.
The findings of a team at Rice University could revolutionize fields like quantum computing and high-temperature superconductors.
Their study of iron-tin (FeSn) thin films change how scientists view kagome magnets, which are named after a traditional basket-weaving pattern. The team discovered that FeSn’s magnetic properties come from localized electrons, not the previously assumed mobile electrons.
According to the team, the findings challenge existing theories about kagome metals and offer new insights into magnetism, potentially guiding the creation of materials with customized properties for advanced technologies like quantum computing and superconductors.
