The new magnetic material is also free of high-demand rare earth elements, meaning it could be easily mass-produced.<\/p>\n
“I was really doubting its magnetism, but our results show clearly superparamagnetic behaviour,” said Ahmed El-Gendy, senior author and physicist at the University of Texas, El Paso.<\/p>\n
Superparamagnetism is a controllable form of magnetism where applying an external magnetic field aligns the magnetic moments of a material and magnetises it.<\/p>\n
The results of the study, \u2018Room temperature colossal superparamagnetic order in aminoferrocene-graphene molecular magnets<\/a>,\u2019 was published in Applied Physics Letters<\/em>.<\/p>\n Currently, quantum computers are confined to cool rooms close to absolute zero (-273\u00b0C), where particles are less likely to tumble out of their critical quantum states.<\/p>\n Breaking through this temperature barrier to develop magnetic materials that still exhibit quantum properties at room temperatures has long been the goal of quantum computing<\/a>.<\/p>\n Molecular magnets are an extremely promising option for creating qubits, which are at the base of quantum information.<\/p>\n Magnetic materials are already used in our current computers. They are at the helm of spintronics, devices that use an electron’s spin direction in addition to its electronic charge to encode data.<\/p>\n Quantum computers could be next, with magnetic materials giving rise to spin qubits \u2013 pairs of particles such as electrons whose directional spins are linked on a quantum level.<\/p>\n Instead of adding all the composite ingredients at once, the team synthesised the magnetic material in a series of steps.<\/p>\nThe potential of the magnetic material in quantum computers<\/h3>\n
