Uniaxial Strain Unlocks Single-Domain State in Altermagnet for Next-Gen Memory
Key Takeaways
- Altermagnetism is a third type of magnetism with potential for spin-transport applications like computer memory.
- Hexagonal manganese telluride typically forms multidomain structures, obscuring its intrinsic magnetic structure.
- Rice University researchers applied uniaxial strain to achieve a single magnetic domain.
- The single-domain state allowed clear resolution of the material's magnetic structure.
