Opis

The second-generation spintronic devices discussed in this book will not only improve the existing capabilities of electronic transistors, but will enable future computers to run faster and consume less power. Merging the obstacles and recent technological advances in developing spin-controlled devices into one source, this expert-contributed work discusses underlying theory, experimental results, characterization techniques, and device applications. It also addresses the classes of materials systems with potential use in spintronics, such as ferromagnetic metals and alloys, Heusler alloys and half-metallic oxides, and diluted magnetic semiconductors.
