Spintronics – an introduction

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Spintronics, or “spin electronics”, is the study of the role of spin of electrons in solid state electronics. Solid state devices are based entirely on semiconductors, such as transistors and microprocessors, and contain no moving parts. The field of spintronics was established in the 1980s, following a number of experiments on electron transport in solid [...]
