Magnetic molecules manipulate surface of topological insulator
Researchers at the University of Oxford have demonstrated, for the first time, how to use molecules to manipulate the surface of a ‘topological insulator’, an exotic material with unusual electronic properties. Understanding and manipulating these properties is a notable step towards the innovative information transfer and storage promised by ‘spintronics’.
