A new ‘spin’ on kagome lattices

The kagome ferromagnet Fe3Sn2 exhibits an electronic state that couples unusually strongly to an applied magnetic field that can be rotated to point in any direction of a 3-dimensional space, revealing that magnetization drives — in quantum scale — a ‘giant’ energy shift within the material, an international team of researchers has found.
