Boston College physicists, Prof. Fazel Tafti and Prof. Ken Burch, develop a method to control the direction of atomic magnetism in layered materials—a leap of progress for the optical and magnetic device industry
In a new report in Advanced Materials, researchers from Boston College demonstrate that magnetic anisotropy can be continuously tuned between the two limits of in-plane and out-of-plane. The team reports it achieved this advance in the arena of ultrathin magnetic devices by successfully pointing the magnetization toward any direction of space instead of only in-plane or out-of-plane.
