Another source of the field might be from remnant
magnetization of iron - bearing rocks which were magnetized when the planet had a strong magnetic field during its younger years.
In a 2008 paper in Science, Parkin and colleagues demonstrated the beginnings of a racetrack memory based not on skyrmions, but on magnetic features called domain walls, which separate regions with different directions of
magnetization in a material.
Future work will explore the printing of anisotropic, or directional, bonded magnets, which are stronger than isotropic magnets that have no preferred
magnetization direction.
The researchers then measured the rocks»
remnant magnetization using a precision magnetometer in the MIT Paleomagnetism Laboratory.
The process involved in
magnetization reversal sometimes exhibits the nucleation and movement of these domain walls, which constitute the transition between two regions of charge magnetized in different directions.
The fact that the linear magnetoelectric effect «went unnoticed» for a long time had to do with the spin cycloid: due to the spin cycloid structure, certain characteristics, such
as magnetization and the magnetoelectric effect «average out» to zero.

One way to produce rapid changes of strain on the subnanosecond scale and, thus,
induce magnetization changes is by using surface acoustic waves (SAWs), which are deformation (strain) waves.

The repetitive switching of the

While searching for ever smaller devices that can be used as data storage systems and novel sensors, physicists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have directly observed
magnetization dynamics processes in magnetic nanowires and thus paved the way for further research in the field of nanomagnetism.
Here we show that
remanent magnetization in the eucrite meteorite Allan Hills A81001 formed during cooling on Vesta 3.69 billion years ago in a surface magnetic field of at least 2 microteslas.
Paleomagnetic studies of a meteorite from asteroid Vesta reveal remanent

Those spirals of

Within the smallest magnetite grains are regions that have their own
individual magnetizations and work like a tape recorder.
What they found was that, exposed to the longitudinal bias field, the samples»
magnetization responded to the current after a 3.5 nanosecond lag (top image).
Each magnetized packet constitutes a bit, and so moving bits along actually constitutes moving the boundaries, known as domain walls, that separate regions of
opposing magnetization — essentially, the wall that separates a 0 from a 1.
Each core can hold one bit of information, which is stored in terms of the direction of
imposed magnetization; in other words, the core «remembers» the direction of the effective magnetizing current sent through it last.

Bismuth ferrite is an antiferromagnetic, which means that the magnetic moments of its magnetic sublattices (structures formed by atoms with the same parallel spins) cancel each other out, and the
total magnetization of the material is close to zero.
These new phenomena rely on the transport of thermal energy, in contrast to the conventional appication of magnetic fields, providing a new, and highly desireable way to
manipulate magnetization at the nanoscale.
By means of the oscillating magnetic fields of irradiated microwaves the deliberate rotation of the
YIG magnetization is induced, which emits a magnon spin current into the CoO.
The magnetoelectric effect is when electric polarization occurs under the influence of an external magnetic field and
magnetization occurs under the influence of an electric field.
If a judicious choice of parameters is made, the method can lead one to calculate curves and thermal variations of the
spontaneous magnetization or paramagnetic susceptibility that coincide remarkably well with the experimental results, for example, to within a few thousandths.
After the nanometer - scale fabrication, they then measured the switching
magnetization behavior mediated by the domain wall propagation.
There were even some interesting candidates for multiferroism, although none presented the characteristic
overall magnetization and all had lousy ferroelectric properties.
However, in the Gd22 % sample, wave -

Researchers have recently been also interested in the utilization of antiferromagnets, which are materials without
macroscopic magnetization but with a staggered orientation of their microscopic magnetic moments.
By repeating this process with positive and negative current pulses, the soft magnet can be magnetized with equal or
opposite magnetization as the hard magnet, thus turning the EPM ON or OFF, respectively.
They used vibrations as an indirect measure of magnetism, the more vibrations, the
less magnetization.
That cooling time frame would not have allowed for meteoric
impact magnetization, which usually fades within a day or so, to be locked in, Garrick - Bethell says, pointing to a more permanent internal magnetic field on the moon.
A higher

«In a nutshell, electrons experience a force that pushes them sideways, but it doesn't come from the
local magnetization itself; instead it arises from the topology of the magnetic texture,» explained Manchon.
The researchers found that the vortex - antivortex pairs in the soft magnetic layers exhibited a correlated motion that extends several micrometers along the magnetic stripes
during magnetization reversal.
This offers new low -
