Magnetism: Managed mess
Zachary Fisk1
Abstract
The presence of non-magnetic atoms can create a random internal field in magnetic crystals. Tuning that field from outside allows the intrinsic magnetic properties of the material to be precisely controlled.
The eccentric inventor and industrialist Diet Smith — financier of Dick Tracy's crime-fighting gadgetry (Fig. 1) — noted long ago that "he who controls magnetism controls the Universe".
