Magnetism as a research area investigates phenomena arising from moving charges and intrinsic magnetic moments of particles, with emphasis on spin, orbital angular momentum, and their collective behavior in materials. It encompasses fundamental studies of exchange interactions, magnetic ordering (ferromagnetism, antiferromagnetism, ferrimagnetism, spin glass states), and quantum magnetism, as well as the characterization of magnetic domains, anisotropy, and spin dynamics. The field integrates theory, simulation, and experiment to understand and engineer magnetic materials for applications in spintronics, data storage, magnonics, quantum information, and magnetic sensing, often leveraging advanced techniques such as neutron scattering, magnetic resonance, and nanoscale magnetic imaging.
Antiferromagnets are materials in which the magnetic moments of neighboring atoms are aligned in an alternating pattern, resulting in no net macroscopic magnetism. These materials have interesting properties that could be ...
Spintronics uses the spins of electrons to perform logic operations or store information. Ideally, spintronic devices could operate faster and more energy-efficiently than conventional semiconductor devices. However, it is ...
