An international research team led by Forschungszentrum Jülich has visualized magnetism inside solids with unprecedented precision. The scientists used a new method to image magnetism at the atomic level and published their findings in Nature Materials.
Magnetism is crucial in everyday items like electric motors and computers. Previous techniques could only measure these properties on the surface, but the team developed a new method to measure magnetic properties with atomic precision.
The researchers studied an iron crystal and found variations in magnetic moments within the crystal. These insights will aid in designing more efficient materials for the future.
The new method also paves the way for innovative technologies like energy-saving storage solutions and advancements in spintronics.
