Spin Injection into Amorphous Semiconductors

Spin injection into a superconductor with strong spin-orbit coupling.

We demonstrate spin injection into superconducting Nb by employing a spin absorption technique in lateral spin valve structures. Spin currents flowing in a nonmagnetic Cu channel are preferably absorbed into Nb due to its strong spin-orbit interaction, the amount of which dramatically changes below or above the superconducting critical temperature (TC). The charge imbalance effect observed in t...

Investigation of DNA Integration into Reproductive Organs Following Intramuscular Injection of DNA in Mice

Background: DNA immunization with plasmid DNA encoding bacterial, viral, parasitic, and tumor antigens has been reported to trigger protective immunity. The use of plasmid DNA vaccinations against many diseases has produced promising results in animal and human clinical trials; however, safety concerns about the use of DNA vaccines exist, such as the possibility of integration into the host gen...

Fully Polarized Spin Injection into Carbon Nanotubes

Appropriately doped perovskite oxides of manganese such as La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 (LSMO) are ferromagnetic metals in which the conduction electrons tend to be 100% spin polarised [5]. It is therefore desirable to fabricate CNT devices with LSMO electrodes. However, to integrate these two very different material systems into a single device is challenging since their growth conditions are potentially mu...
