A New View on the Origin of Magnetism

Jülich, 10 April 2017 – How does a ferromagnet behave during the transition to a paramagnetic state? The answer to this question is decisive for understanding the quantum-mechanical origins of magnetism – and may even point to a way to achieve faster data storage. With the aid of a novel measuring technique, a team of German and American researchers has succeeded in finding a new answer to this question.
