Researchers Study Magnetic Structure Change Process Intricately Using X-ray Laser

Paul Scherrer Institute’s researchers have succeeded in accurately understanding how a material’s magnetic structure changes. The study was conducted using cupric oxide or CuO. First the material was subjected to a laser pulse, then short X-ray pulses helped obtain almost instantaneous images of several points in time for separate interim steps during the structure change process.
