Relations
- a heavy metal with strong spin–orbit coupling (Pt, W) under a longitudinal temperature gradient; detected through the magnetoresistance of an adjacent magnetic insulator
Matrix context
D = disequilibrium row · C = coupling family column. A cell reads the state of the atlas for that pair.
