Spintronics Technology Revolution Could Be Just a Hopfion Away
Date Time Spintronics Technology Revolution Could Be Just a Hopfion Away Artist’s drawing of characteristic 3D spin texture of a magnetic hopfion. Berkeley Lab scientists have created and observed 3D hopfions. The discovery could advance spintronics memory devices. (Credit: Peter Fischer and Frances Hellman/Berkeley Lab) Adecade ago, the discovery of quasiparticles called magnetic skyrmions provided important new clues into how microscopic spin textures will enable spintronics, a new class of electronics that use the orientation of an electron’s spin rather than its charge to encode data....
