Their paper, "Spin Seebeck Imaging of Spin-Torque Switching in Antiferromagnetic Pt/NiO Heterostructures" was published Oct. 22 in Physical Review X.

One of the specialties of senior author Greg Fuchs, associate professor of applied and engineering physics, is spintronics -- the study of the spin (a type of angular momentum that can record information) that is responsible for the magnetic properties of electrons. Fuchs and his group are striving to understand how to measure and manipulate this magnetism.
