The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

the plasmonic heating can reversibly switch two perpendicularly-oriented AFM domains without the assistance of magnetic fields and electric currents. The required switching energy is at the order 1 nJ

C2weakest assumption

The thermal-induced strain fields inside the frame couple to and manipulate the magnetic orientation via magnetoelastic effect, and the strain field direction can be well controlled by selectively exciting the longitudinal and transverse plasmon modes by varying the polarization of the waves.

C3one line summary

Plasmonic heating in a metallic frame induces controllable thermal strain to reversibly switch perpendicular AFM domains with ~1 nJ energy, without magnetic fields or currents.
