This enables the heating or cooling of the platinum - YIG interface, depending on the relative
orientation of the electron spins in the platinum and the magnetisation in the YIG.
This could make the materials beneficial for spin - related electronics, which would use
the orientation of the electron spin to encode information, thereby opening up a whole new realm of computer technology.
Not exact matches
But when the magnetic
orientations of the wires point in opposite directions,
electrons moving through the cluster from one wire to the other must quickly flip their
spin.
When the magnetic
orientation of those
electrons, also known as their
spin, is the same as the magnetic
orientation of the wires, the
electrons travel effortlessly through the cluster, a phenomenon known as ballistic magnetoresistance (BMR).
And that if you heat a magnet up enough, then you have no magnet at all: High temperatures randomly jumble all the bits
of magnetic material (ultimately
orientations of spinning electrons) that had aligned themselves along the north - to - south - pole axis.
Spintronic materials register binary data via the «up» or «down»
spin orientation of electrons — like the north and south
of bar magnets — in the materials.
For this material, disturbances to the
electron spin orientation can propagate on the edge
of the magnetic crystal, even when propagation through the bulk is blocked.
The exchange interaction refers to the magnetic interaction between
electrons within an atom, which is determined by the
orientation of each
electron's magnetic «
spin» — a quantum mechanical property to describe the intrinsic angular momentum carried by elementary particles, with only two options, either «up» or «down».
Dr. Roee Ozeri
of the Institute's Physics
of Complex Systems Department says: «The
electron has
spin, a form
of orientation involving two opposing magnetic poles.
