New method uses spin motion to control heat flow in magnetic materials

NIMS, in joint research with the University of Tokyo, AIST, the University of Osaka, and Tohoku University, have proposed a novel method for actively controlling heat flow in solids by utilizing the transport of magnons—quasiparticles corresponding to the collective motion of spins in a magnetic material—and demonstrated that magnons contribute to heat conduction in a […]
