A new arrangement: Using quantum dots to quench the smallest ferrimagnetism

Most people are not aware of magnetic forces in their everyday lives, but continuously rely on them in electric motors, hard drives, and electric sensors. In the race to develop smaller electronic components, quantum mechanisms of these components need to be understood. In their new paper, Dr. Yunori Nishikawa from the Osaka Metropolitan University Graduate School of Science and Masashi Tokuda from Osaka University mathematically modeled the electron scattering Kondo effect in ferrimagnetic substances.
