Sentences with phrase «electron spins generate»

Not exact matches

Like refrigerator magnets, chromium triiodide is a ferromagnet, a material that generates a permanent magnetic field owing to the aligned spins of its electrons.

In ordinary magnets, both individual electron spins and the motion of electrons in their atomic orbitals generate magnetic fields.

Researchers in Spain have discovered that if lead atoms are intercalated on a graphene sheet, a powerful magnetic field is generated by the interaction of the electrons» spin with their orbital movement.

Consequently, the analysis revealed that the metal atoms at the center of the organic molecules retained electron spins, which could generate magnetism.

While electronics depends on the charge of electrons to generate the binary ones or zeroes of computer data, spintronics depends on the property of electrons called spin.

For the spin - Hall effect electron - spins are generated by irradiating the sample with circularly polarised light.

Electrons have two fundamental properties, charge and spin, generating such phenomena as electricity, magnetism, thermal conductivity, and superconductivity in materials.

Now, imagine that on the other side of your light switch, one of two scenarios exists: the first is a «clean» world where wind turbines spin to generate electrons to power your light bulb and the other is a «dirty» world where a coal - fired power plant lumbers into operation, spewing carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants into the atmosphere, to create the same level of brightness in your living room.
