Magnetic nanostructures have long been part of our everyday life, e.g., in the form of fast and compact data storage devices or highly sensitive sensors. A major contribution to the understanding of ...

A tunnel junction is a device consisting of two conducting layers separated by an insulating layer. Classically, the resistance for driving current across an insulating layer is infinite; however, ...

All ferromagnetic materials have atomic magnetic moments that are aligned parallel to each other within small regions called domains. Within these domains, the spontaneous magnetization present is ...

While electrons moving perpendicular to a magnetic field are confined to cyclotron orbits, they can move freely parallel to the field. This simple fact leads to complex current flow in clean, low ...

This study determines the effect of the configuration of the magnetic field on the movement of gas bubbles that evolve from platinum electrodes. Oxygen and hydrogen bubbles respectively evolve from ...

Linear motors are synchronous motors: Current is applied to the coil to form an electromagnet. The coil then synchronizes itself to the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets in the magnet ...

Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) is one of the modes of scanning probe microscopy (SPM). As the name implies, it is used to map magnetic characteristics. MFM investigates the local magnetic fields at ...
