Interest in oxide-based semiconductor electronics has exploded in recent years, fueled largely by the ability to grow atomically precise layers of various oxide materials. One of the most important materials in this burgeoning field is strontium titanate (SrTiO3
), a nominally nonmagnetic wide-bandgap
semiconductor. Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have found a way to magnetize this material using light, an effect that persists for hours at a time. Los Alamos National Laboratory is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security.
