This breakthrough addresses a long-standing challenge in spintronics research by providing a definitive measure of the spin Hall effect, overcoming ambiguities associated with traditional metrics.

Spins accumulate at both edges of the sample owing to the spin Hall effect. Although spin current is expected to flow inside the sample, it has not been observed yet. Osaka, Japan – Researchers from ...

Our data-driven world demands more—more capacity, more efficiency, more computing power. To meet society’s insatiable need for electronic speed, physicists have been pushing the burgeoning field of ...

A wafer-thin flake of bismuth telluride can act a little like a one-way street for electricity, even when the push comes from ...

In many quantum materials—materials with unusual electrical and magnetic properties driven by quantum mechanical effects—electrons can organize themselves into Landau levels. Landau levels are ...

Researchers demonstrate spontaneous in-plane Hall effect in SrRuO3 films, revealing new insights into electron transport. (Nanowerk News) In a recent breakthrough, researchers from Japan discovered a ...
