This review focuses on the discussion of the latest progress and remaining challenges in
selected metal-free photocatalysts for hydrogen production. The scope of this review is …

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 …

The Materials Project crystal structure database has been searched for materials possessing
layered motifs in their crystal structures using a topology-scaling algorithm. The algorithm …

Electrical current can be completely spin polarized in a class of materials known as half-
metals, as a result of the coexistence of metallic nature for electrons with one spin …

The continuous miniaturization of charge-based electronic devices and overcoming the
bottleneck of Moore's law have driven the rapid growth of spintronics, spintronics operates …

Colossal magnetoresistance—a huge decrease in resistance in response to a magnetic field—
has recently been observed in manganese oxides with perovskite structure. This effect is …

Mixed-valence manganese oxides (R1-χAχ) MnO3 (R= rare-earth cation, A= alkali or
alkaline earth cation), with a structure similar to that of perovskite CaTiO3, exhibit a rich …

The fundamental physical properties of doped LaMnO 3, generically termed “manganites,”
and much of the underlying physics, were known more than 40 years ago. This article first …

Magnetic sensors can be classified according to whether they measure the total magnetic
field or the vector components of the magnetic field. The techniques used to produce both …

This book emerged from a close collaboration of the authors which started in the fall of 2000.
Early that year one of us (JS) had joined the Stanford faculty after spending nearly 15 years …
