The recent discovery that a spin-polarized electrical current can apply a large torque to a
ferromagnet, through direct transfer of spin angular momentum, offers the possibility of …

Electrons have a charge and a spin, but until recently, charges and spins have been
considered separately. In conventional electronics, the charges are manipulated by electric …

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-transfer torques occur in magnetic heterostructures because the transverse component
of a spin current that flows from a nonmagnet into a ferromagnet is absorbed at the interface …
