Beyond Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya: anisotropy-driven compact spin textures for low-power spintronics
Demand for denser, lower-power data storage keeps rising, yet the metallic magnets behind most memory technologies dissipate energy through electrical currents. Magneto-electric insulators on the other hand offer an alternative...
SINQ++ Workshop at PSI
A SINQ++ Workshop was held at PSI on 29 - 30 April 2026 to develop and test the emerging Science Case that will define the future of SINQ.
Pressure and oxygen-isotope substitution on density-wave transitions in La4Ni3O10
Understanding the interplay between magnetism and superconductivity in nickelate systems is a key objective in condensed matter physics. Gaining microscopic insights into magnetism—particularly as it emerges near superconductivity—requires a synergistic approach that combines complementary experimental techniques with controlled tuning of external parameters. In this paper, we present ...
