Spintronics is one of the emerging fields for the next-generation nanoelectronic devices to
reduce their power consumption and to increase their memory and processing capabilities …

Spintronics is one of the emerging research fields in nanotechnology and has been growing
very rapidly. Studies of spintronics were started after the discovery of giant …

This review describes a new paradigm of electronics based on the spin degree of freedom of
the electron. Either adding the spin degree of freedom to conventional charge-based …

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 …

Electrons have a charge and a spin, but until recently these were considered separately. In
classical electronics, charges are moved by electric fields to transmit information and are …

An approach to electronics is emerging that is based on the up or down spin of the carriers
rather than on electrons or holes as in traditional semiconductor electronics. The physical …

This book emerged from a close collaboration of the authors which started in the fall of 2000.
Early that year one of us (JS) had joined the Stanford faculty after spending nearly 15 years …

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 …

The discovery of enhanced magnetoresistance and oscillatory interlayer exchange coupling
in transition metal multilayers just over a decade ago has enabled the development of new …

The spin lifetime and diffusion length of electrons are transport parameters that define the
scale of coherence in spintronic devices and circuits. As these parameters are many orders …
