Connection Between Ferroelectricity and Magnetic Structure at the Microscopic Level

In a magneto-electric material, a magnetic field can induce a ferroelectric moment-a displacement of the ions that creates an electric field. Similarly, an electric field can induce a change in the material's magneti...

Magnetic Fluctuations Play Important Role in Mechanism for Superconductivity in Iron-Pnictides

Two materials, the cuprates, discovered in the mid-1980s, and the iron-based pnictides, discovered in 2008, have been classified as unconventional superconductors. In these materials, the mechanism for superconductivity is believed to be different to that of conventional superconductors, such as aluminum, in which lattice vibrations bind electrons into the so-called Cooper pairs that carry the supercurrent.
