Unprecedented Electronic Phenomena Discovered in Graphene

Originally Published 2 years ago — by IFLScience

Researchers from MIT have discovered a unique configuration of five layers of graphene that exhibits a rare magnetic property called a "multiferroic" state, as well as a never-before-seen electronic behavior known as ferro-valleytricity. This arrangement of graphene layers allows for interactions between electrons, resulting in quantum effects and the emergence of preferred, ferroic orders. The material's multiferroic properties could have applications in energy-efficient magnetic storage devices capable of storing double the amount of information compared to conventional devices.

MIT physicists have discovered that when graphene is stacked in a specific five-layer pattern, it exhibits a unique "multiferroic" state, showcasing unconventional magnetism and a novel electronic behavior named "ferro-valleytricity." This finding could pave the way for the development of high-capacity, energy-efficient data storage devices. By incorporating five-layer graphene or similar multiferroic materials into memory chips, engineers could potentially double the amount of data that can be stored on a chip compared to conventional methods.
