Scientists Discover a Magnetic Field Driven Transition in Quantum Semiconductor

Scientists have discovered that Mn3Si2Te6 changes from an insulator to an electrically conductive metal when exposed to a magnetic field. In Mn3Si2Te6, applying a magnetic field causes a weak metallic state with trapped electrical changes to form in the material. This study examined the processes that cause this behavior.
