place
Physics Library
group
Tom Heitmann
Abstract: Thermal neutrons are conventionally used to characterize materials. But can they also be harnessed to actively modify materials and improve their functionality? This talk explores how thermal neutrons at the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR)… Show more

Writing in altermagnetic spintronics with light
event
-
place
Physics Library
group
Dr. Pavlo Sukhachov
Abstract: Altermagnets are a new class of magnets with zero net magnetization and no stray fields, but with strong spin polarization that depends on momentum. That suits spintronic memory devices: the spin polarization gives a good readout. Writing, however, has… Show more
