HKUST and Tsinghua researchers develop mechanism of electrical 180° switching of Néel vector - EurekAlert


<p>A collaborated research team led by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and Tsinghua University has theoretically proposed a new mechanism of electrical 180&deg; switching of N&eacute;el vector and experimentally realized it in antiferromagnetic materials with spin-splitting band structure featuring the C-paired spin-valley locking, also named as altermagnet. The team also demonstrated the material&#39;s capability to manipulate N&eacute;el vector, paving the way for the manufacturing of ultrafast memory devices.</p>
