Tsinghua University announced that the team led by Song Cheng and Pan Feng from the School of Materials at Tsinghua has made significant progress in spintronics materials and devices, achieving efficient and complete electrical switching of chiral antiferromagnetic order. This research bridges a critical gap between fundamental studies of chiral antiferromagnets and their application in devices, laying the foundation for developing a new generation of magnetic storage with ultra-high density, ultra-fast read/write speeds, and low power consumption. The related findings were published in Nature on February 25.

In the experiment, Mn3Sn homojunctions were prepared using molecular beam epitaxy, and zero-field switching polarity reversal was achieved through pre-magnetization control. Tests showed that this switching method has superior resistance to magnetic field interference. According to the paper, the new configuration significantly optimizes three key metrics: critical current density, power consumption, and the ratio of anomalous Hall coercivity to current density, with the third metric showing a two-order-of-magnitude improvement over ferromagnetic materials.

[SMM Tin Flash: The Most-Traded SHFE Tin Contract Hit the Down Limit, Now at 394,890 yuan/mt, Down 12%]

On the afternoon of March 3, the most-traded SHFE tin contract fell rapidly, hitting the 12% daily limit down near the close to settle at 394,890 yuan/mt. Recently, fading macro sentiment combined with rising expectations of an overseas supply recovery led to a swift unwinding of the sentiment premium previously injected by geopolitical conflicts. Market pessimism was released in a concentrated manner. Futures have remained weak since the night session yesterday, with losses continuing to widen during the day, ultimately hitting the limit down.

[SMM Tin Express: AI Inference Chips Open Market Space PCB Industry Chain Price Hikes May Continue]

Driven by robust demand for AI, the price hikes in the PCB circuit board industry chain continue. According to reports, Japanese semiconductor material giant Resonac has raised the prices of CCL copper clad laminate and adhesive films by 30% starting from March 1. The industry expects that Resonac's price increase will be passed on to high-end manufacturing processes such as MLCC, HDI boards, IC substrates, and high-frequency high-speed PCBs. Moreover, the PCB sector may see a super catalyst – Nvidia's LPU inference chip. The market believes that with the implementation and rapid growth of AI applications, the market for specialized AI inference chips will expand rapidly, bringing about a significant impact on the PCB industry including increased volume and prices, process upgrades, material innovations, and higher concentration. This will enhance the value and importance of PCBs in AI chips, opening up new market size opportunities for the PCB industry.
