Magnetization switching in ferromagnets by adsorbed chiral molecules without current or external magnetic field

Magnetization switching in ferromagnets by adsorbed chiral molecules without current or external magnetic field

Spin manipulation in memory devices typically requires large electrical currents, limiting performance. Here the authors demonstrate magnetization switching in ferromagnetic films by depositing chiral molecules, making use of a proximity effect without needing magnetic or electric fields.
