Neutron Researchers Discover Widely Sought Property in Magnetic Semiconductor

Tuesday, November 25, 2008 - 17:07 in Physics & Chemistry

(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have demonstrated for the first time the existence of a key magnetic—as opposed to electronic—property of specially built semiconductor devices. This discovery raises hopes for even smaller and faster gadgets that could result from magnetic data storage in a semiconductor material, which could then quickly process the data through built-in logic circuits controlled by electric fields.
