Exploring a New Class of Magnetism with Huge Potential for Electronics

An experiment conducted in Sweden has unveiled a breakthrough in controlling a unique form of magnetism, opening up new avenues for research in electronics with the potential to revolutionize memory storage and energy efficiency.

Using a synchrotron device to accelerate electrons to high speeds, a team of researchers from the University of Nottingham bombarded an ultra-thin wafer of manganese telluride with X-rays of varying polarizations. This innovative approach revealed magnetic activity on a nanoscale level that was previously unseen.

In conventional materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt, the alignment of unpaired electrons’ spins gives rise to magnetism. However, in non-magnetic materials, these spins cancel each other out. This is where the concept of antiferromagnetism comes into play, where particles are arranged in a canceling fashion but with a slight twist that allows for confined forces on a nanoscale.

Recently, a new configuration of particles in ferromagnetic materials, known as altermagnetism, was theorized. This phenomenon involves magnetic moments pointing antiparallel to each other but with a subtle rotation that enables unique properties that can be harnessed for data storage and energy applications.

The research team led by physicist Peter Wadley at the University of Nottingham successfully demonstrated the manipulation of altermagnetism in a thin sheet of manganese telluride. Using the powerful synchrotron at the MAX IV Laboratory in Sweden, they visualized and manipulated magnetic whirlpools on the wafer’s surface, showcasing the potential practical applications of this new form of magnetism.

According to Wadley, the experimental work bridges theoretical concepts with real-world applications, paving the way for the development of altermagnetic materials for practical use. The team’s findings have confirmed the existence of altermagnetism and provided insights into how it can be utilized in electronic devices.

While the practical applications of altermagnetism are still theoretical, the potential impact on electronics and computing is significant. This new form of magnetism could lead to spin-based memory systems and advance our understanding of current flow in high-temperature superconductors.

This groundbreaking research, published in Nature, marks a significant milestone in the exploration of a third class of magnetism that could transform digital devices and revolutionize the field of electronics.
