Antiferromagnetic material's giant stride toward commercial application
The quest for high throughput intelligent computing paradigms—for big data and artificial intelligence—and the ever-increasing volume of digital information has led to an intensified demand for high-speed and low-power consuming next-generation electronic devices. The "forgotten" world of antiferromagnets (AFM), a class of magnetic materials, offers promise in future electronic device development and complements present-day ferromagnet-based spintronic technologies (Fig. 1).
