The new ultra-thin magnet, scientists believe, will help in the creation of new computer technology, as well as
Scientists have previously created very thin magnets, but the difference with the new development is that a magnet just one atom thick works at room temperature.
Researchers from the national laboratoryLawrence Berkeley Department of Energy and the University of California at Berkeley have synthesized a new two-dimensional magnet, called a zinc oxide van der Waals magnet.
In just a few hours of roasting in a regularIn a laboratory oven, the mixture turned into a monoatomic zinc oxide layer with a small number of cobalt atoms sandwiched between graphene layers. At the last stage, graphene burns out, leaving behind only one atomic layer of zinc oxide doped with cobalt.
Researchers have long been looking for ways to make thin 2D magnets that would store much larger data in routine rather than laboratory environments.
