NEWS RELEASE
Physicists find unusual waves in nickel-based magnet
Perturbing electron spins in a magnet usually results in excitations called "spin waves" that ripple through the magnet like waves on a pond that’s been struck by a pebble. In a new study, Rice physicists and their collaborators have discovered dramatically different excitations called "spin excitons" that can also "ripple" through a nickel-based magnet as a coherent wave.
