Researchers from the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) in a discovery in the field of magnetoelectric materials have identified a unique mechanism of electric polarization via magnetic ordering in a novel mineral named MnBi2S4 which can be helpful in energy-efficient data storage.
Professor A. Sundaresan, chair, Chemistry and Physics of Materials Unit at JNCASR, made this discovery and the findings of his study are outlined in a recent paper published in the journal PHYSICAL REVIEW B.
