Its spins, the electrons\u2019 intrinsic angular momentum that generates the magnetic moment in the material, point in a specific direction. This creates a magnetization that differs from the rest of the environment. Imagine a small, cylinder-shaped magnetic bubble floating in a sea of opposite magnetization,\u201d says Prof. Olav Hellwig from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf \u2019s Institute of Ion Beam Physics and Materials Research, describing the subject of his research.
