Max Planck Institute CPfS - TQC

We're following the Max Planck Society and moving our communication away from X. This account will remain online as an archive, a time capsule of research highlights. You can find us on other platforms & thanks for being a part of this journey!

Magnetoresistance, the change in electrical resistance of a material when exposed to a magnetic field, is used in a variety of applications, such as memory in hard disk drives! Learn more in this #Primer from @mpi_CPfS, @ChangjiangYi, and team 🧲🧭nature.com/articles/s4358…

Orbital Angular Momentum behaves like a monopole in topological chiral metals and it can be controlled through the structural handedness. @DIPCehu @mpi_CPfS @UShbrooke @IQ_USherbrooke nature.com/articles/s4156…

Nice work by Robin Guehne on ScV6Sn6 Kagome, revealing orbital selective modulations of the local density of states. @mpi_CPfS @DIPCehu @claudia_felser nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to share a groundbreaking paper showing 2D and 3D magnetic imaging of samples too thick to be measured until now. From spintronics to paleomagnetism. Happy that @HZBde could make a small contribution to the work lead by the Spin3D group @mpi_CPfS physics.aps.org/articles/v17/s…

Another big paper from Chiara Devescovi and Antonio Morales on axion topology in photonic crytals, co-supervised with @garciaetxarri . More to come soon ;) @DIPCehu @mpi_CPfS nature.com/articles/s4146…
