A new method enables researchers to analyse magnetic nanostructures with a high resolution. It was developed by researchers at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics in Halle. The new method achieves a resolution of around 70 nanometres, whereas normal light microscopes have a resolution of just 500 nanometres. This result is important for the development of new, energy-efficient storage technologies based on spin electronics. The team reports on its research in the current issue of the journal "ACS nano". more

An international group from the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, Germany, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, USA, and the Johannes Kepler University, Austria, reports in Nature an atomically thin all-antiferromagnetic tunnel junction constructed by twisting two bilayers of CrSBr, a two-dimensional (2D) antiferromagnet, which shows a >700% nonvolatile tunneling magnetoresistance at zero field. Their work shows that it is possible to push nonvolatile magnetic information storage to the atomically thin limit. more
