After having carried out an experiment in which they managed to measure and manipulate the hyperfine coupling of isolated magnetic atoms on a surface, a group of scientists - in which a CONICET researcher participates -, made a new advance. An article published today in the journal Nature Nanotechnology shows a new technique that allows controlling the magnetism of an isolated copper atom. This technology could use, in the not too distant future, atomic nuclei to store and process information.
The electrically controlled nuclear atomization of isolated atoms is the title of the work, which was carried out collaboratively by experimental and theoretical physicists from the United States, Korea, Argentina, Portugal, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Spain. The researcher of CONICET at the Institute of Modeling and Technological Innovation (IMIT, CONICET - UNNE) and professor at the UNNE Faculty of Exact, Natural and Surveying Sciences, was one of those responsible for theoretical development.
