"The interface is the device," Nobel laureate Herbert Kroemer famously observed, referring to the remarkable properties to be found at the junctures where layers of different materials meet. In ...

Kobe University ONO Tomoya (left) is an expert in calculating the properties of materials based on the behavior of their electrons. His team now showed that the interface between a ferromagnet and an ...

Since the researchers found a basic mechanism governing the interface structure between ferromagnetic metals and two-dimensional materials, they extend to other material systems, too. Ono says: “Our ...
