Researchers have demonstrated that the direction of the spin-polarized current can be restricted to only one direction in a single-atom layer of a thallium-lead alloys when irradiated at room ...

Topological insulators could form the basis for revolutionary electronic components. However, as they generally only function ...

Altermagnetic crystal: not only the directions of spin polarization (in magenta and cyan) alternate on neighboring magnetic atoms, but also the atomic shapes themselves – as shown by tilting the ...

What is a Quantum Spin Hall Insulator? A quantum spin Hall insulator (QSHI) is a novel state of matter that exhibits unique electronic properties. It is a type of topological insulator, which is a ...

Osaka, Japan – Despite their identical composition, molecules that are mirror images can interact differently with light and electrical current depending on their “handedness”, which is called ...

A research group at the University of Würzburg, in partnership with researchers from the University of Montpellier and the ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Scientists have used electrical pulses to manipulate magnetic information into a polarized light signal, a discovery that could revolutionize long-distance optical telecommunications, ...
