Simulation Explains Acoustic Phonon Movement

Caption

A team led by Ohio State's Wolfgang Windl, Ph.D., used OSC's Oakley Cluster to calculate acoustic phonon movement within an indium-antimonide semiconductor under a magnetic field. The calculations explained experimental data and showed for the first time that elemental particles have magnetic properties.
