Researchers make a surprising discovery of magnetic interactions in Kagome-class topological magnets

Newswise — A team from Ames National Laboratory conducted an in-depth investigation of TbMn’s magnetism6snail6, a Kagome class topology magnet. They were surprised to find that the magnetic spin reorientation in TbMn6snail6 occurs by generating increasing numbers of magnetic isotropic ions as the temperature increases. Rob McQueeney, a scientist at Ames Laboratories and project leader, … Leer más
