MgN: A possible material for spintronic applications

Multiferroic nanoscale Bi2FeCrO6 material for spintronic-related applications.

We report the control of the growth mode of Bi(2)FeCrO(6) thin and ultrathin films by either tuning the pulsed laser deposition parameters or by using a buffer layer. The films are epitaxial and the heterostructures exhibit very smooth interfaces, thus eliminating the main obstacle in the realization of tunnel junctions. By characterizing the functional properties of thin films we find that Bi(...

I wrote this thesis by myself and used none but the indicated resources. Text and figures were partly taken from corresponding publications, which originate directly from this work.

Silicon for Spintronic Applications: Strain-Enhanced Valley Splitting

The rapid increase in computational power and speed of integrated circuits is supported by the incessant downscaling of semiconductor devices. Thanks to constantly introduced innovative changes in the technological processes, the miniaturization of MOSFETs epitomized by Moore's Law successfully continues. The recently introduced 32 nm technology involves improved high-κ gate stack dielectrics i...
