Theoretical physicist Ziqiang Wang and researcher Kun Jiang, Ph.D. '18, help an international team of colleagues explain new findngs in the kagome magnet Boston College researcher Kun Jiang and ...
Scientists are exploring special magnets called noncentrosymmetric magnets, which have unique spin patterns like skyrmions. These patterns can affect how electricity moves through materials, which is ...
A team led by Physics professors Kai Liu and Gen Yin and graduate student Willie Beeson (G’25) has discovered a new class of strong magnets that do not rely on rare-earth or precious metals — a ...
Magnetic skyrmions are small swirling topological defects in the magnetization texture. Their stabilization and dynamics depend strongly on their topological properties. In most cases, they are ...
