Researchers find that thickness of magnetic materials can help control their spin dynamics
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energyâs (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Yale University have demonstrated the ability to control spin dynamics in magnetic materials by altering their thickness. The new study could lead to smaller, more energy-efficient electronic devices.
âInstead of searching for different materials that share the right frequencies, we can now alter the thickness of a single materialâiron, in this caseâto find a magnetic medium that will enable the transfer of information across a device,â said Brookhaven physicist and principal investigator Valentina Bisogni.
