Antiferromagnetic

Insider Brief A team of international researchers has reported the first definitive evidence of antiferromagnetism in a real icosahedral quasicrystal, resolving a decades-old question in condensed matter physics. The team used neutron diffraction to detect magnetic Bragg peaks in a novel Au-In-Eu quasicrystal, confirming the presence of long-range antiferromagnetic order below 6.5 K. The findings … Read more
