Magnetic fields put a new spin on surface chemistry
Researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo and collaborating institutions found that manipulating the spin of hydrogen atoms can affect how the atoms react with a magnetic nickel surface. By controlling spin orientation with a magnetic field, the team was able to change hydrogen adsorption and chemical reaction rates, suggesting a new way to control surface chemistry.
