India, March 12 -- The Government of India has issued a release:
Scientists have decoded how heat flows in magnetic semiconductors, materials that are critical to emerging technologies such as spintronics, magnetic memory, and quantum devices.
The discovery resolves a decade-old puzzle in condensed matter physics and opens up new possibilities for advanced thermal management in high-performance electronic and magnetic systems.
In conventional semiconductors, thermal conductivity decreases as temperature increases, primarily due to enhanced scattering of heat-carrying lattice vibrations, known as phonons. However, several magnetic semiconductors defy this rule by exhibiting an unusual increase in thermal conductivity above their magnetic ...
