Semitransparent structure of germanium manganese oxide

Caption

This figure shows the semitransparent structure of germanium manganese oxide (GeMnO3), one of the newly discovered 2D materials, superimposed on its surface magnetic structure. The collor pattern depicts regions in the vicinity of magnetic ions where the magnetization points out of the plane (red) or into the plane (blue). This strong spatial variation of the magnetic information could for instance play a crucial role for data storage applications.
