The research team at the University of Tsukuba made a groundbreaking discovery regarding electron spins in magnetic materials. They found that fluctuations in these spins can trigger a large anomalous Hall effect during a phase transition known as the devil’s staircase magnetic transition. This finding is crucial for the progression of magneto-thermoelectric conversion, a technology
