Silicon spintronics.
Worldwide efforts are underway to integrate semiconductors and magnetic materials, aiming to create a revolutionary and energy-efficient information technology in which digital data are encoded in the spin of electrons. Implementing spin functionality in silicon, the mainstream semiconductor, is vital to establish a spin-based electronics with potential to change information technology beyond i...
متن کاملModeling Silicon Spintronics
Abstract-Silicon, the main material of microelectronics, is perfectly suited for spin-driven applications. All-electrical spin injection in silicon has been demonstrated, however, the magnitude of the corresponding signal is larger than theoretically predicted. We analyze the influence of electrostatic charge screening on the efficiency of spin injection at the ferromagnet-semiconductor interfa...
متن کاملSilicon spintronics: Progress and challenges
Electron spin attractsmuch attention as an alternative to the electron charge degree of freedom for low-power reprogrammable logic and non-volatile memory applications. Silicon appears to be the perfect material for spin-driven applications. Recent progress and challenges regarding spin-based devices are reviewed. An order of magnitude enhancement of the electron spin lifetime in silicon thin f...
متن کاملSilicon and CMOS-Compatible Spintronics
Silicon, the main material of microelectronics, is attractive for extending the functionality of MOSFETs by using the electron spin. However, spin lifetime decay in the siliconon-insulator transistor channel is a potential threat to spindriven devices using silicon. We predict a giant enhancement of the electron spin lifetime in silicon thin films by applying uniaxial mechanical stress. The adv...
متن کاملInflammation warms up the metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic Syndrome To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Hung et al1 claiming that activation of interleukin 18 (IL-18) is involved in the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome. These data add to the mounting evidence describing association between circulating markers of vascular inflammation and features of metabolic syndrome, either alone or in combination.2 The potential clini...
