Keywords: Nanomagnetics (16087461143).jpg Left Polarization sensitive light microscopy shows the pattern of north poles black and south poles white on thin layer of magnetic cobalt Right The researchers found that the pattern of north poles and south poles spontaneously fluctuates over time Strongly fluctuating areas are encoded here as brighter colors Researchers hope to use this data to make more sensitive magnetic materials whose domains can be flipped more energy efficiently a boon to those with rapidly dying smartphone batteries Images show an area approx 75 micrometers across See also http //www nist gov/cnst/flip-020315 cfm www nist gov/cnst/flip-020315 cfm Credit Balk/NIST Disclaimer Any mention of commercial products within NIST web pages is for information only; it does not imply recommendation or endorsement by NIST Use of NIST Information These World Wide Web pages are provided as a public service by the National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST With the exception of material marked as copyrighted information presented on these pages is considered public information and may be distributed or copied Use of appropriate byline/photo/image credits is requested https //www flickr com/photos/usnistgov/16087461143/ Nanomagnetics 2015-02-03 11 37 https //www flickr com/people/63059536 N06 National Institute of Standards and Technology PD-USGov National Institute of Standards and Technology https //flickr com/photos/63059536 N06/16087461143 2016-09-07 01 32 03 United States Government Work Uncategorized 2016 November 30 |
