Magnetism is a very relevant subject that permeates our everyday lives. However, magnetism keeps taking us from surprise to surprise which seems to indicate that it is a phenomenon not well understood. For example, we found that bulk amorphous palladium becomes magnetic; so, naturally one should ask, could defective palladium develop magnetism? In particular, would amorphous porous palladium become magnetic? Here we show that the answer to that question is affirmative, this defective topology of Pd is magnetic, with a magnetism that depends on the amount of sample porosity and on the topology of their structures. Clearly, if magnetism exists in porous amorphous palladium, this indicates the possibility of developing light-weight magnets, useful when a maximized magnetism/weight ratio is demanded, well suited for space and aeronautical applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
