Nanotechnology Now Our NanoNews Digest Sponsors Home > Press > Magnetism drives metals to insulators in new experiment: Study provides new tools to probe novel spintronic devices An illustration of two domains (blue and orange) divided by a domain wall (white area) in a material. The magnetic order is designated with organized arrows (electron spins) while the colors represent two different domains (but the same magnetic order). In the material pictured here, the domain walls are conductive and the domains are insulating. CREDIT Yejun Fang Abstract: Like all metals, silver, copper, and gold a...
