new magnetic material could revolutionize computer hard drives - energy storage devices
London, March 5ANI)
: The researchers found a high-sensitivity magnetic material that can completely change the computer's hard disk and energy storage equipment.
Only a slight change in temperature can significantly change the magnetic properties of the metal double layer
This is a very useful area of electronic engineering, according to the BBC.
Ivan Schuler of the University of California, San Diego, said that other materials known to mankind could not do this.
This material combines a thin layer of nickel and vanadium oxide to form a structure that is surprisingly responsive to heat.
Schuler says they can control the magnetic properties in a narrow temperature range
Without applying a magnetic field, it is claimed that in principle they can also control the magnetic field with a voltage or current.
At low temperatures, the oxide is an insulator, he says, and at high temperatures, it is a metal, and between the two, it becomes this strange material. (ANI)
