A research team led by Prof. SHENG Zhigao from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. A.V. Kimel ...

When exposed to intense laser pulses, the magnetization of a material can be manipulated very fast. Fundamentally, magnetization is connected to the angular momentum of the electrons in the material.

Maurer Magnetic AG has come up with a highly efficient process of alternating field demagnetization, thus setting a new technological benchmark worldwide. The patented Maurer degaussing process – ...

With this detailed "x-ray vision," the scientists found that the demagnetization process at the Gd atoms in the alloy is significantly faster than in pure Gd. This is, however, not due to an exchange ...
