Researchers control elusive spin fluctuations in 2D magnets
Professor Jie Shan and Associate Professor Kin Fai Mak co-author recent paper on a new real-time imaging technique that is fast and sensitive enough to observe elusive critical fluctuations in two-dimensional magnets. This technique allows researchers to control the fluctuations and switch magnetism via a “passive” mechanism that could eventually lead to more energy-efficient magnetic storage devices. The team’s paper, “ Imaging and Control of Critical Fluctuations in Two-Dimensional Magnets,” published June 8 in Nature Materials. Learn more in the Cornell Chronicle article here. Read more
