Spintronics for Next Generation Innovative Devices

Spintronics (short for spin electronics, or spin transportelectronics) exploits both the intrinsic spin of the electron andits associated magnetic moment, in addition to its fundamentalelectronic charge, in solid-state devices. Controlling the spin ofelectrons within a device can produce surprising and substantialchanges in its properties.
Drawing from many cutting edge fields, including physics, materialsscience, and electronics device technology, spintronics hasprovided the key concepts for many next generation informationprocessing and transmitting technologies. This book discusses allaspects of spintronics from basic science to applications andcovers:
* magnetic semiconductors
* topological insulators
* spin current science
* spin caloritronics
* ultrafast magnetization reversal
* magneto-resistance effects and devices
* spin transistors
* quantum information devices
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to Spintronicsfor researchers and students in academia and industry.
