 Scientists find surprising magnetic excitations in a metallic compound
In this bulk metallic compound, we unexpectedly found one-dimensional magnetic excitations that
are typical of insulating materials whose main source of magnetism is
the spin of its electrons," said physicist Igor Zaliznyak, who led the
research at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National
Laboratory. "Our new understanding of how spinons contribute to the
magnetism of an orbital-dominated system could potentially lead to the
development of technologies that make use of orbital magnetism—for
example, quantum computing components such as magnetic data processing
and storage devices.
