This process is repeated several times, whereby the time interval between the first "pump" pulse and the subsequent "probe" pulse is continually extended. As a result, a time series of reflection data ...

The reliability of data storage and writing speed in advanced magnetic devices depend on drastic, complex changes in microscopic magnetic domain structures. However, it is extremely challenging to ...

The ability to reliably switch the direction of magnetic alignment in materials, a process known as magnetization switching, ...

Researchers at the Université de Lorraine in France and Tohoku University in Japan have demonstrated a sub-picosecond magnetization reversal in rare-earth-free archetypical spin valves. Their ...

Research from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities gives new insight into a material that could make computer memory faster and more energy-efficient. The study was recently published in Advanced ...

Typically, the charge of electrons is used to store and process information in electronics-based devices. In spintronics, the ...

To magnetize an iron nail, one simply has to stroke its surface several times with a bar magnet. Yet, there is a much more unusual method: A team led by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) ...
