Glassy ternary mixtures selectively reflected blue, green, or red light
What the study found The study found that ternary liquid crystalline mixtures could selectively reflect blue light in the glassy state. In the smectic C* phase, the same mixtures reflected either green or red light depending on how they were temperature treated. Why the authors say this matters The abstract does not state a broader…
Screening finds 180 materials with significant altermagnetic spin splitting
What the study found The study found 180 materials with significant altermagnetic spin splitting. These materials include both metallic and semiconducting systems, and some representative cases discussed are UCr2Si2C, NbMnP, and YRuO3. Why the authors say this matters The authors say altermagnetism is promising for next-generation spintronics because it can produce sizable spin splitting in…
