Description:
Article Iron Fe 2+ ions embedded in semiconductor matrix usually have zero magnetic moment in the ground state. Here, the authors show theoretically and experimentally that a nearly doubly degenerate magnetic ground state is produced when iron ions are subjected to strain in epitaxial quantum dots, suggesting they could be used in spintronics and solotronics.
