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 …

Magnetic nanostructures, such as dots and dot arrays, nanowires, multilayers and
nanojunctions, are reviewed and compared with bulk magnets. The emphasis is on the …

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 …

Modulation of electronic properties in spintronic interfaces (spinterfaces) can give rise to the
optimization and even emergence of abundant spintronic effects. However, a proof-of …

The phenomenon of electron tunnelling has been known since the advent of quantum
mechanics, but continues to enrich our understanding of many fields of physics, as well as …

Oxides have become a key ingredient for new concepts of electronic devices. To a large
extent, this is due to the profusion of new physics and novel functionalities arising from …

Concomitant with the development of metal-based spintronics in the late 1980s and 1990s,
important advances were made on the growth of high-quality oxide thin films and …

We study the electrical injection and detection of spin accumulation in lateral ferromagnetic-
metal–nonmagnetic-metal–ferromagnetic-metal (F/N/F) spin valve devices with transparent …

We present tunneling experiments on Fe (001)/MgO (20 Å)/FeCo (001) single-crystal
epitaxial junctions of high quality grown by sputtering and laser ablation. Tunnel …

The spin filtering phenomenon allows one to obtain highly spin-polarized charge carriers
generated from nonmagnetic electrodes using magnetic tunnel barriers. The exponential …
