Quantum Materials out of Equilibrium
Maia Vergniory ist Coautorin des Leitartikels in Physics Today
Maia Vergniory, assoziierte Forscherin in der Abteilung für Festkörperchemie, wird in der Mai-Ausgabe der Zeitschrift Physics Today als eine der Autorinnen des Leitartikels Quantum Materials Out of Equilibrium vorgestellt.
Aus der Originalarbeit übernommen:
An antiferromagnet becomes ferrimagnetic under laser light. (a) Cobalt fluoride is normally antiferromagnetic at equilibrium, with magnetic moments (red arrows) that are spin up at corner sites and spin down in the center of its unit cell. The net magnetic moment is zero. (b) In its laser-induced distorted lattice, CoF2 becomes ferrimagnetic, with magnetic moments that are both spin up and spin down, but whose net magnetic moment is now finite. The displaced atoms (relative to the antiferromagnetic lattice) produce that net moment.
