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 …

This book presents the conceptual framework underlying the atomistic theory of matter,
emphasizing those that relate to current flow. This includes some of the most advanced …

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 …

We study the decoherence of a single electron spin in an isolated quantum dot induced by
hyperfine interaction with nuclei. The decay is caused by the spatial variation of the electron …

We have performed a systematic calculation for the non-Markovian dynamics of a localized
electron spin interacting with an environment of nuclear spins via the Fermi contact …

The spin of a confined electron, when oriented originally in some direction, will lose memory
of that orientation after some time. Physical mechanisms leading to this relaxation of spin …

We review and summarize recent theoretical and experimental work on electron spin
dynamics in quantum dots and related nanostructures due to hyperfine interaction with …

We study the decoherence of a single electron spin in an isolated quantum dot induced by
hyperfine interaction with nuclei for times smaller than the nuclear spin relaxation time. The …

At present, metal–molecular tunnel junctions are recognized as important active elements in
molecular electronics. This gives a strong motivation to explore physical mechanisms …
