Graphene-based synthetic antiferromagnets and ferrimagnets

Antiferromagnetic spintronics may pave the way to innovative information storage devices with perpendicular coupling, however experimental demonstrations are still sparse. Here, the authors demonstrate a graphene-mediated perpendicular antiferromagnetic coupling between Fe and Co layers in a Fe/grap...

Description
Summary:Antiferromagnetic spintronics may pave the way to innovative information storage devices with perpendicular coupling, however experimental demonstrations are still sparse. Here, the authors demonstrate a graphene-mediated perpendicular antiferromagnetic coupling between Fe and Co layers in a Fe/graphene/Co sandwich structure.
