A new class of magnetism called altermagnetism has been imaged for the first time in a new study. The findings could lead to the development of new magnetic memory devices with the potential to ...

Collinear ordered magnetic materials have conventionally been put into two classes: ferromagnets, in which magnetic moments of neighbouring atoms point in the same direction; and antiferromagnets, in ...

For well over a century, our understanding of the magnetic world had been neatly compartmentalised into two categories: ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. Ferromagnetism, which is the familiar ...

A new class of magnetism called altermagnetism has been imaged for the first time in a new study. The findings could lead to the development of new magnetic memory devices with the potential to ...

Mapping an altermagnetic vortex pair in MnTe. The six colours, with arrows overlayed, show the direction of the altermagnetic ordering within the material. The size of the region shown is 1μm 2. A new ...
