Strong magnetic second harmonic generation effect discovered in two-dimensional CrPS₄ monolayer

A research team led by Professor Sheng Zhigao at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has, for the first time, observed the strong nonlinear magnetic second harmonic generation (MSHG) induced by the ferromagnetic order in monolayer CrPS4, with the help of the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility.

Unprecedented spin properties revealed in new artificial materials

In conjunction with research staff from the Charles University of Prague and the CFM (CSIC-UPV/EHU) center in San Sebastian, CIC nanoGUNE’s Nanodevices group has designed a new complex material with emerging properties in the field of spintronics. This discovery, published in the journal Nature Materials, opens up a range of fresh possibilities for the development of novel, more efficient and more advanced electronic devices, such as those that integrate magnetic memories into processors.
