Fun with atoms 1

This animation illustrates the flipping of the direction of a "compass needle" consisting of a single magnetic atom. The lines represent the magnetic field lines created by the tiny magnet and the arrows demonstrate the direction of the magnetization of the magnetic atom. Eventually such a magnetic nanodevice could be used to store magnetic information, here illustrated as "1" and "0." The key property that determines the stability of the magnetism of magnetic bits is called magnetic anisotropy.
