PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- In 1972, physicists J. Michael Kosterlitz and David Thouless published a groundbreaking theory of how phase changes could occur in two-dimensional materials.
Researchers observed 2D melting in real time by tracking skyrmions, revealing how ordered magnetic lattices become disordered at the microscopic level. (Nanowerk News) What occurs during the melting ...
What occurs during the melting process in two-dimensional systems at the microscopic level? Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have explored this phenomenon in thin magnetic ...
