«The work shows
how magnetization of nanoscale magnets can be steered by intense ultrashort electron pulses,» said Alexander Schäffer, a doctoral student at Martin - Luther - Universität Halle - Wittenberg in Halle, Germany, and lead author of the paper.
This method gave the researchers the possibility to understand,
how the magnetization proceeds in different layers of the sample.

The scientists measured
how this voltage changed with the direction of the
magnetization to isolate the fingerprints of the spin Nernst effect.
The research team, which included Natalya Pugach from the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics, studied the interactions between superconductivity and
magnetization in order to understand
how to control electron spins (electron magnetic moments) and to create the new generation of electronics.
Similar to
how ice loses its internal order and becomes liquid above a certain temperature; 3D magnets also lose their
magnetization above a critical temperature.
First the team investigated
how angle θ between ferromagnetic layer
magnetizations depends on angle φ between the axes of the antiferromagnets (fig. 1a, top).
