Common rust reveals new class of magnetism
UC Riverside-led study confirms altermagnetism in hematite Researchers from the University of California, Riverside, in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, have confirmed a recently identified form of magnetism known as altermagnetism in hematite, a common iron oxide better known as rust. The findings, published in Physical Review Letters, establish hematite as a scalable and promising platform for future energy-efficient electronic technologies. For more than 75 years, physicists understood magnetism as either ferromagnetic, where atomic spins align to produce a net magnetic
