If we can take out an electron from copper, can we create ferromagnetic copper?

This is a fundamental question which expands our understandings of materials

We decided to test if we can change the magnetic properties of Pd and Pt, because we expected it would be easier

or Pd

Here’s a typical sample structure;

Through the electric field effect, electron density modulation is realized at the uppermost layer of Pt
