Description

Emerging Altermagnetic Materials for Future Information Technology. Altermagnets, which exhibit zero net magnetic moment while retaining spin splitting, combine the strengths of ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. They are gaining global attention for their broad application potential, including transforming the AI era by enabling ultra-high-density data processing and storage, ultrafast response, and low energy consumption. This project aims to advance this emerging field by designing, fabricating, and testing robust altermagnetic materials that operate at room temperature, demonstrating their practicality for real-world applications. By driving innovation in materials and technology and fostering a skilled workforce, Australia is poised to lead this groundbreaking research and its industrial applications..
