An orbitally derived single-atom magnetic memory

Single-atom storage can dramatically exceed the limit of traditional high-density memory devices but is challenging. Here the authors show the bistability in the orbital configuration of a single Co atom on black phosphorus which can be accessed, manipulated and has potential for high-temperature si...

Description
Summary:Single-atom storage can dramatically exceed the limit of traditional high-density memory devices but is challenging. Here the authors show the bistability in the orbital configuration of a single Co atom on black phosphorus which can be accessed, manipulated and has potential for high-temperature single-atom information storage.
