Despina Louca’s group, and in particular graduate student Aaron Wegner and postdoctoral researcher Junjie Yang, has discovered a way to boost the magnetoresistance in the I-Mn-V class of semiconductors, the highest ever observed in this class, that may make it well-suited as a magnetic electrode in room-temperature spintronics-based devices.
