    The first paper of the Otte Lab has appeared in Physical Review Letters: Local Control of Single Atom Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy When a magnetic atom is embedded in a material, magnetocrystalline anisotropy causes its magnetic moment to favor certain axes over others to orient itself along. It is this property that ultimately makes a material magnetically…
