Spintronics, or spin electronics, involves the study of active control and manipulation of spin
degrees of freedom in solid-state systems. This article reviews the current status of this …

Traditional studies that combine spintronics and superconductivity have mainly focused on
the injection of spin-polarized quasiparticles into superconducting materials. However, a …

The canonical example of a quantum-mechanical two-level system is spin. The simplest
picture of spin is a magnetic moment pointing up or down. The full quantum properties of …

Spin Hall effects convert charge currents into spin currents and vice versa even in
nonmagnetic conductors due to spin orbit coupling. This enables spin Hall effects to be …

The past few decades of research and development in solid-state semicon ductor physics
and electronics have witnessed a rapid growth in the drive to exploit quantum mechanics in …

Two complementary effects modify the GHz magnetization dynamics of nanoscale
heterostructures of ferromagnetic and normal materials relative to those of the isolated …

Extended electron spin precession in n-type GaAs bulk semiconductors is directly observed
by femtosecond time-resolved Faraday rotation in the Voigt geometry. Synchronous optical …

We propose a spin-field-effect transistor based on spin-orbit coupling of both the Rashba
and the Dresselhaus types. Different from earlier proposals, spin transport through our …

This textbook describes the physics of semiconductor nanostructures with emphasis on their
electronic transport properties. At its heart are five fundamental transport phenomena …

A theory of exciton spin dynamics is given in terms of the exchange spin-flip mechanism
taking full account of the confinement of the quantum well. Exciton spin relaxation belongs to …
