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 …

Heusler compounds are a remarkable class of intermetallic materials with 1: 1: 1 (often
called Half-Heusler) or 2: 1: 1 composition comprising more than 1500 members. Today …

Spin–orbit coupling induces a unique form of Zeeman interaction in momentum space in
materials that lack inversion symmetry: the electron's spin is locked on an effective magnetic …

Fully relativistic first-principles calculations based on density functional theory are performed
to study the spin-orbit-induced spin splitting in monolayer systems of the transition-metal …

Abstract In 1984, Bychkov and Rashba introduced a simple form of spin–orbit coupling to
explain the peculiarities of electron spin resonance in two-dimensional semiconductors …

When a neutral atom moves in a properly designed laser field, its center-of-mass motion
may mimic the dynamics of a charged particle in a magnetic field, with the emergence of a …

High-volume information-processing and communications devices are at present based on
semiconductor devices, whereas information-storage devices rely on multilayers of magnetic …

The development of spintronics devices relies on efficient generation of spin-polarized
currents and their electric-field-controlled manipulation. While observation of exceptionally …

The development of semiconductor spintronics requires a reliable electronic means for
writing, processing and reading information using spin-polarized carriers. Here, we …
