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 ...

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 ...
