Nanoscale Dominoes: Magnetic Moments Topple Over in Rows

Nanoscale Dominoes: Magnetic Moments Topple Over in Rows, Magnetic Moments, magnetic switches, magnetic structure, magnetic information Physicists at the Institut für Festkörperforschung in Germany have discovered a type of domino effect in rows of individual manganese atoms on a nickel surface. They determined that the magnetic arrangement of these nanowires varies depending on their lengths. Using computer simulations and [...]
