Physicists Uncover "Parallel Circuits" of Spin Currents in Antiferromagnets

Caption

Left: An antiferromagnet can function as “parallel electrical circuits” carrying Néel spin currents. Right: A tunnel junction based on the antiferromagnets hosting Néel spin currents can be regarded as “electrical circuits” with the two ferromagnetic tunnel junctions connected in parallel.
