Conventional electronic devices rely on the generation, transport, manipulation, and detection of electric charge carriers, such as electrons and holes. Spintronics employs the intrinsic angular ...

A long standing mystery in spintronics has revolved around why some promising crystalline materials stubbornly refuse to ...

The term spintronics originally was an acronym for SPIN TRansport electrONICS. Nowadays this term generally stands for ‘spin-based electronics’ and is more broadly used for all kinds of spin polarized ...

The word “spintronics” is a portmanteau of spin and electronics. That’s because this emerging field of applied physics offers an alternative to conventional electronics – using an electron’s spin ...

Calculations suggest that a combination of graphene nanoribbon structures could be used to create a spin valve for spintronics applications. Spin valves are one of the basic building blocks of ...
