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 …

The phenomenon of electron tunnelling has been known since the advent of quantum
mechanics, but continues to enrich our understanding of many fields of physics, as well as …

Vertical integration of two-dimensional van der Waals materials is predicted to lead to novel
electronic and optical properties not found in the constituent layers. Here, we present the …

We present first-principles based calculations of the tunneling conductance and
magnetoconductance of epitaxial Fe (100)| MgO (100)| Fe (100) sandwiches. Our results …

A superconducting point contact is used to determine the spin polarization at the Fermi
energy of several metals. Because the process of supercurrent conversion at a …

The three volumes of this handbook treat the fundamentals, technology and nanotechnology
of nitride semiconductors with an extraordinary clarity and depth. They present all the …

Finding a means to generate, control and use spin-polarized currents represents an
important challenge for spin-based electronics,,, or 'spintronics'. Spin currents and the …

Spin polarized tunneling studies by Tedrow and Meservey in the early 1970s that showed
the spin conservation in electron tunneling gave rise to the possibility of spin sensitive …

Magnetic oxides show a variety of extrinsic magnetotransport phenomena: grain-boundary,
tunnelling and domain-wall magnetoresistance. In view of these phenomena the role of …

The electron transport properties of hybrid ferromagnetic| normal metal structures such as
multilayers and spin valves depend on the relative orientation of the magnetization direction …
