Deskripsi

Contrary to ferromagnets, antiferromagnets possess no net magnetic moment, which has limited their applicability as magnetic memory media. Here, the authors demonstrate a heat-assisted multiple-stable memory based on epitaxial thin films of antiferromagnet MnTe with three-fold symmetric anisotropy.
