A new study led by HZB has taken a step forward in this regard. The team demonstrated at the world\u2019s only VEKMAG station at BESSY II that a tiny external B-field in the plane of the magnetic patterns is sufficient to change them.

The experiments aimed to map the magnetic textures while the sample was exposed to an external magnetic field in specific spatial directions. For this purpose, BESSY II is equipped with a globally unique instrument developed by Radu\u2019s team: the VEKMAG vector magnet can generate a magnetic field of up to 1 T in all three spatial directions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Fe0.63 Ni0.3 Pd0.07)3 P, or FNPP, is a magnetic material that exhibits complex magnetic structures even at room temperature.
