Light beams of varying intensities (yellow cylinders) help visualize magnetic domains (light and dark areas), separated by domain walls (red lines). When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a ...

The Kerr effect causes polarized light to rotate after interacting with magnetic domains in a material and enables the investigation of magnetized samples using Kerr microscopy. This method allows the ...

This is a dynamic rotation of a magnetic vortex structure within a magnetite grain at high temperatures. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the April 15, issue of Science Advances, ...

Scientists have used light to visualize magnetic domains, and manipulated these regions using an electric field, in a quantum antiferromagnet. This method allows real-time observation of magnetic ...

(Nanowerk News) When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a closer look. When magnets draw in physicists, they take a quantum look. Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University and the ...
