What is Spintronics
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The age of electrically‐based devices has been with us for more than six decades. With more and more electrical devices being packed into smaller and smaller spaces, the limits of physical space will prevent further expansion in the direction the microelectronics industry is currently going. Also, volatile memory, which does not retain information upon being powered off, is significantly hindering ultrafast computing speeds. However, a new breed of electronics, dubbed “spintronics,” may change all of that.

Molecules for Spin Devices
Molecular electronics [1] aims to use molecules as building blocks for the fabrication of electronic components—diodes, switches, transistors, and the like. At the heart of this idea is the possibility of synthesizing organic molecules with tailored properties, manipulating their electronic structure and optimizing their binding to different surfaces. Devices as small as a few molecules might l...
متن کاملSpintronics - A retrospective and perspective
Spintronics is a rapidly emerging field of science and technology that will most likely have a significant impact on the future of all aspects of electronics as we continue to move into the 21st century. Conventional electronics are based on the charge of the electron. Attempts to use the other fundamental property of an electron, its spin, have given rise to a new, rapidly evolving field, know...
متن کاملNuclear hyperpolarization in solids and the prospects for nuclear spintronics.
Nuclear hyperpolarization can be achieved in a number of ways. This article focuses on the use of coupling of nuclei to (nearly) pure quantum states, with particular emphasis on those states obtained by optical excitation in bulk semiconductors. I seek an answer to this question: "What is to prevent the design and analysis of nuclear spintronics devices that use the extremely long-lived hyperpo...
متن کاملBook Review: Spintronics-Based Computing
If you’re a casual reader looking for a spellbinding page-turner, or a curious amateur technophile, this is not the book for you. It is filled with grammatical errors and clumsy diction, the tone is as dry as the Gobi Desert, and there is no graceful introduction beyond the excellent summary in the short Foreword by Albert Fert. After that the various authors plunge directly into advanced techn...
متن کاملBoron Nitride Nanotubes for Spintronics
With the end of Moore's law in sight, researchers are in search of an alternative approach to manipulate information. Spintronics or spin-based electronics, which uses the spin state of electrons to store, process and communicate information, offers exciting opportunities to sustain the current growth in the information industry. For example, the discovery of the giant magneto resistance (GMR) ...
