Breakthrough in rare-earth magnetism promises more efficient quantum technologies

In a major scientific breakthrough, researchers have discovered a new form of magnetism in a rare-earth compound - an advance that could pave the way for faster, more energy-efficient quantum and spintronic technologies. A team from the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) has shown for the first time that single-crystal thin films of neodymium nitride (NdN) exhibit ferromagnetism driven not by electron spin, as seen in conventional magnets, but by the electron’s ...
