Neutrons reveal a subtle form of magnetism
Magnetism goes far beyond the familiar magnets we encounter in everyday life. Some materials exhibit much subtler magnetic properties that are equally fascinating to explore. By studying manganese fluoride, a material that has been investigated for decades, researchers from the Laboratoire Léon Brillouin (Joint unit CEA–CNRS), in collaboration with the Laboratoire de Physique des Solides,…
Fundamental Research
The research carried out at the Institute is mainly fundamental in nature, but is also open to the creation of economic value and technology transfer.
