What does it mean to sustain magnetic activity without being magnetic? What defines magnetic activity?
The material itself cannot be magnetized, which is what they mean by not “being magnetic”. However, these do have spin currents that can be measured and controlled, so they sustain “magnetic activity”. Kind of like a hybrid between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic.
Hmm, interesting. Thanks!
you mean like eddy currents?
