Researchers have demonstrated that electron orbitals, not just spin, can serve as a practical lever for controlling magnetism ...

When a magnetic material is bombarded with short pulses of laser light, it loses its magnetism within femtoseconds (10 –15 seconds). The spin, or angular momentum, of the electrons in the material ...

What will the computers of tomorrow look like? Chances are good that spintronics will play a decisive role in the next generation of computers. In spintronics, the intrinsic angular momentum of an ...

Optical vortex plays an important role in a variety of fields, such as particle tweezing, quantum communication, astrophysics, and microscopy. Especially, the application of optical vortex has been ...

a) In a weak magnetic field, broad cyclotron orbits suppress the orbital contribution, allowing spin polarization to dominate, (b) In strong magnetic fields, tight cyclotron orbits enhance orbital ...

Researchers used sophisticated resonant X-ray scattering to directly view spin wave currents. The findings were published in Nature.

Researchers have captured the first direct, momentum-resolved evidence that certain lattice vibrations carry measurable ...
