But there are other forms such as paramagnetism, a weaker version that occurs when the electron spins point in random directions. In the new study, the ETH scientists discovered a strange new form ...

Figure 2: The monopole phase factors. Certainly, it is clear that within a local moment picture the lack of magnetic order implies that the spin–spin interactions must be highly frustrated; this ...

These properties are typically associated with superconductors. While conducting polymers generally display paramagnetism -- where they are weakly attracted to magnetic fields -- this breakthrough ...
