Antiferromagnetic Quasicrystals: A Groundbreaking Discovery in Materials Science
Researchers have discovered antiferromagnetism in a gold-indium-europium icosahedral quasicrystal (iQC), marking the first direct observation of this magnetic order in real QCs. The discovery, led by Ryuji Tamura and team, opens new possibilities for energy-efficient technologies in spintronics and magnetic refrigeration, aligning with sustainable development...
