Magnetic materials have become indispensable to various technologies that support our modern society, such as data storage ...

Magnetism is a property of matter that has been known to mankind for several thousand years, long before these properties could be described in a theory. In our everyday lives, we are used to ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether in a physics class, in the lab, or in popular science writing, is left ...

Zoltan Fodor receives funding from DFG, BMBF. When the results of an experiment don’t match predictions made by the best theory of the day, something is off. Fifteen years ago, physicists at ...

The established theory of particle physics is called the standard model, and has passed a vast number of experimental tests with flying colours. But one such test — the determination of the magnetic ...

Addition of iridium leads to increased electron localization and stronger spin-orbit coupling between 3d electrons of iron and cobalt and 5d electrons of iridium, significantly enhancing the magnetic ...
