Physicists Induce 2D Ferromagnetism in Platinum

Physicists from the University of Groningen have induced magnetism in platinum by using an electric field generated with a paramagnetic ionic liquid. Since this affects only the surface of the platinum, a switchable 2D ferromagnet is created. The research was reported in the Science Advances journal on April 6, 2018.
