Spin Hall effects are a collection of relativistic spin-orbit coupling phenomena in which
electrical currents can generate transverse spin currents and vice versa. Despite being …

This article reviews spintronics based memories, in particular, magnetic random access
memory (MRAM) in a systematic manner. Debuted as a humble 4 Mb product by FreeScale …

Spin currents can apply useful torques in spintronic devices. The spin Hall effect has been
proposed as a source of spin current, but its modest strength has limited its usefulness. We …

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 …

Topological insulators represent a new quantum state of matter which is characterized by
peculiar edge or surface states that show up due to a topological character of the bulk wave …

We show that in a perpendicularly magnetized Pt/Co bilayer the spin-Hall effect (SHE) in Pt
can produce a spin torque strong enough to efficiently rotate and switch the Co …

We report a giant spin Hall effect in β-W thin films. Using spin torque induced ferromagnetic
resonance with a β-W/CoFeB bilayer microstrip, we determine the spin Hall angle to be| θ …

The interaction of subpicosecond laser pulses with magnetically ordered materials has
developed into a fascinating research topic in modern magnetism. From the discovery of …

We demonstrate that the spin Hall effect in a thin film with strong spin-orbit scattering can
excite magnetic precession in an adjacent ferromagnetic film. The flow of alternating current …

Electrically induced electron-spin polarization near the edges of a semiconductor channel
was detected and imaged with the use of Kerr rotation microscopy. The polarization is out-of …
