A fundamental link between two counterintuitive phenomena in spin glasses—reentrance and temperature chaos—has been mathematically proven for the first time. By extending the Edwards–Anderson model to ...
A research team led by Prof. Wang Qun from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has made significant progress in the theoretical study of ...
Experiments show that a spin current moves as a coherent evanescent spin wave through an antiferromagnet layer sandwiched between two ferromagnets. Figure 1: In spin pumping experiments, there are ...
The rotation and movement of polar molecules in an ultracold gas are intertwined with each other through dipolar interactions between the molecules, giving rise to rich, tunable dynamics. This ...
Studies of how a nitrogen-vacancy center’s spin interacts with a surrounding 2D layer of spins could lead to new platforms for quantum metrology and simulation. Diamond defects, nitrogen-vacancy (NV) ...
An analysis of magnetic symmetry groups in antiferromagnets points to a new class of materials that will be useful for spintronics. In crystals with SOC, electrons’ spins align along the ...
A crucial number that rules the universe goes big in a strange quantum material. The fine-structure constant is about 10 times its normal value in a type of material called quantum spin ice, ...
A 'special property' that particles are born withParticles like electrons and photons are not 'tiny spinning spheres' as we might imagine. Even so, particles inherently possess an amount equivalent to ...
