Lattice structure of antiferromagnetic mott insulators

Antiferromagnetic mott insulators -- magnetic materials in which the electron spins are aligned in a repeating stable pattern -- contain electrons (orbs) that are organized in lattice structures of atoms so that their spins point up (blue) or down (pink) in an alternating pattern. However, when ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.
