Yufei Li, Thuc Mai, Mohammed Karaki, Evan Jasper, Kevin Garrity, Chase Lyon, Daniel Shaw, Timmothy DeLazzer, Adam Biacchi, Rebecca Dally, Daniel Heligman, Jared Gdanski, Tehseen Adel, Maria Munoz, Alex Giovannone, Amit Pawbake, Clement Faugeras, Jeffrey Simpson, Kate Ross, Nandini Trivedi, Yuanming Lu, Angela R. Hight Walker, Rolando Valdes Aguilar
In magnetically ordered materials with localized electrons, it has been known for a long time [1–3] that the fundamental interactions are due to exchange of electrons. In most cases only the interaction between pairs of spins in neighboring atoms is taken
