A team from Ames National Laboratory conducted an in-depth investigation of the magnetism of TbMn 6 Sn 6, a Kagome layered topological magnet. They were surprised to find that the magnetic spin ...

A super-precise experiment at Fermilab is carefully analyzing every detail of the muon’s magnetic moment. Modern physics is full of the sort of twisty, puzzle-within-a-puzzle plots you’d find in a ...

When the results of an experiment don’t match predictions made by the best theory of the day, something is off. Fifteen years ago, physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered something ...

One of the common modes of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is Magnetic force microscopy (MFM). As indicated by the name, SPM is used to map magnetic properties. On the nanoscale, MFM probes local ...

The uniaxial Tb ions have elongated electronic orbitals (shaped like ellipsoids) and the Tb moment points along the ellipsoid due to spin-orbit coupling. The isotropic Tb ions have spherically shaped ...
