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 …

Recent advances in the theory and experimental realization of ferromagnetic
semiconductors give hope that a new generation of microelectronic devices based on the …

We report on the high-temperature ferromagnetism in Co-doped ZnO films fabricated by the
sol–gel method above 350 K. The lattice constant of c axis of wurtzite Zn 1− x Co x O follows …

Doped EuO is an attractive material for the fabrication of proof-of-concept spintronic devices.
Yet for decades its use has been hindered by its instability in air and the difficulty of …

An overview is given of the state of the art in spin electronics. The technical basis is
reviewed and simple ideas of giant magnetoresistance discussed. The connection between …

For 50 years conventional electronics has ignored the electron spin. The manipulation and
utilisation of the electron spin heralds an exciting and rapidly changing era in electronics …

One hundred and one years after JJ Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize for the
discovery of the electron, the 2007 Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to Professors Peter …

Prospect of building electronic devices in which electron spins store and transport
information has revived interest in the spin relaxation of conduction electrons. Since spin …

Magnetoresistance of single Ni and Co nanowires, of about 60 nm in diameter and 6000 nm
in length, was measured at room temperature. The full magnetoresistive hysteresis loops of …

This review is intended as an introduction to mesomagnetism, with an emphasis on what the
defining length scales and their origins are. It includes a brief introduction to the …
