Lecture Notes on Semiconductor Spintronics
نویسنده
چکیده
These informal lecture notes describe the progress in semiconductor spintronics in a historic perspective as well as in a comparison to achievements of spintronics of ferromagnetic metals. After outlining motivations behind spintronic research, selected results of investigations on three groups of materials are presented. These include non-magnetic semiconductors, hybrid structures involving semiconductors and ferromagnetic metals, and diluted magnetic semiconductors either in paramagnetic or ferromagnetic phase. Particular attention is paid to the hole-controlled ferromagnetic systems whose thermodynamic, micromagnetic, transport, and optical properties are described in detail together with relevant theoretical models.

متن کاملSemiconductor Spintronics
We review recent progress made in the field of semiconductor spintronics, a branch of semiconductor electronics where both charge and spin degrees of freedom play an important role in realizing unique functionalities. We first describe the new spin-dependent phenomena found in semiconductors including carrier-induced ferromagnetism in III–V compounds, followed by an account of our current under...
متن کاملAlbert Fert - Nobel Lecture
Electrons have a charge and a spin, but until recently, charges and spins have been considered separately. In conventional electronics, the charges are manipulated by electric fields but the spins are ignored. Other classical technologies, magnetic recording for example, are using the spin but only through its macroscopic manifestation, the magnetization of a ferromagnet. This picture started t...

for an Invited Paper for the MAR05 Meeting of The American Physical Society Spin Transport in Organic Semiconductors JING SHI, University of Utah Spin injection/detection and coherent transport are necessary ingredients in spin electronics or spintronics. Organic semiconductors are believed to have long spin coherence due to the weak spin-orbit interaction and hyperfine interaction; therefore, ...
