Beyond a phenomenological description of magnetostriction

Although magnetostriction is universal in magnetic materials, understanding its microscopic origin remains challenging. Here the authors use X-ray and ultrafast electron diffraction to separate the material’s sub-picosecond spin and lattice responses and reveal the magnetoelastic stress generated by...
