Keywords: Magnetic Semiconductor (5888009339).jpg Researchers working at NIST have confirmed that thin magnetic layers red of a semiconductor separated by a nonmagnetic layer blue can exhibit a coveted phenomenon known as 'antiferromagnetic coupling ' in which manganese Mn atoms in successive magnetic layers spontaneously orient their magnetization in opposite directions This discovery made by scattering neutrons arrows from the material raises the prospects of 'spintronic logic circuits' that could both store and process data Credit Brian Kirby NIST Disclaimer Any mention of commercial products within NIST web pages is for information only; it does not imply recommendation or endorsement by NIST Use of NIST Information These World Wide Web pages are provided as a public service by the National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST With the exception of material marked as copyrighted information presented on these pages is considered public information and may be distributed or copied Use of appropriate byline/photo/image credits is requested https //www flickr com/photos/usnistgov/5888009339/ Magnetic Semiconductor 2008-11-25 13 30 https //www flickr com/people/63059536 N06 National Institute of Standards and Technology PD-USGov National Institute of Standards and Technology https //flickr com/photos/63059536 N06/5888009339 2016-09-07 02 31 23 United States Government Work Uncategorized 2016 December 20 |
