In two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnets, anisotropy is essential for the magnetic ordering as dictated by the Mermin-Wagner theorem. The recently discovered van der Waals ferromagnets are largely ...

Researchers provide direct evidence that the magnetic properties of the novel icosahedral quasicrystals depend on the electrons-per-atom ratio The new i QCs were prepared using mother alloys ...

A recent study published in the Science Bulletin details the use of a highly sensitive scanning superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) microscope to investigate the behavior of the ...

The rules about magnetic order may need to be rewritten. An international team of researchers found that it was possible to turn a non-magnetic material into a magnetic material by slicing it into ...

In 1966, Mermin and Wagner theoretically predicted that while ferromagnetic order can be stabilized in three-dimensional systems, it cannot be sustained in two-dimensional isotropic systems due to ...
