Not just spin-electron orbitals can provide new method for controlling magnetism

Research is actively underway to develop a "dream memory" that can reduce heat generation in smartphones and laptops while delivering faster performance and lower power consumption. Korean researchers propose a new possibility for controlling magnetism using the exchange interaction of electron orbitals-the motion of electrons orbiting around an atomic nucleus-rather than relying on the conventional exchange interaction of electron spin, the rotational property of electrons inside semico...
