Professor Park Je - Geun, Associate Director of the Center for Correlated Electron Systems (CCES), within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), and colleagues have observed, quantified and created a new theoretical model of the coupling of two forms of collective atomic excitation, known as magnons and phonons in crystals of the antiferromagnet manganite (Y, Lu) MnO3, a mineral made of manganese oxide and rare - earth elements called yttrium (Y) and lutetium (Lu).

Nanoalloys of platinum (grey) and yttrium (blue) are created using sputtering in a vacuum chamber.

YAG (yttrium aluminium garnet) lasers emit ten super-short pulses of light each second, which superheat the paint, blasting it off in chips, rather than heating the surface.
