Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether in a physics class, in the lab, or in popular science writing, is left ...

A research team has revealed the microscopic origin of the large magnetoelectric effect in interfacial multiferroics composed of the ferromagnetic Co2FeSi Heusler alloy and the piezoelectric material.

Almost two decades ago, physicists detected a phenomenon known as the spin Hall effect 1, 2, in which an electric field separates the electrons in a material on the basis of their intrinsic angular ...

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 ...
