New Wave: Spin Soliton Could Be a Hit in Cell Phone Communication (1 of 2) (VIDEO)

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

Caption

This animation shows the development of the soliton over the course of about 2.7 nanoseconds. Current begins passing through the channel in the center, causing the magnetization to oscillate. These oscillations initially move throughout the layer, but after 1.8 ns the magnetization under the hole inverts to form the soliton (center changes to red) and the oscillations are then localized.
