Three”s Company: New Alloy Sets Magnetism Benchmark
Preliminary atomic moment results for new iron-cobalt-manganese thin film blow past decades-old record by potentially 50 percent. Spintronics leverages electron spins to enhance solid-state devices by prolonging battery life. Spintronic developments, however, are increasingly running up against the Slater-Pauling limit, the maximum for how tightly a material can pack its magnetization. Now, a new thin
