Abstract Heusler alloys have been theoretically predicted and experimentally demonstrated to be an ideal spin source due their half-metallicity at room temperature. The also offers low Gilbert damping constants for fast magnetization reversal with switching current density. These intrinsic properties can offer better operationability in spin-transfer-torque-based devices. In addition spin–orbit...

The fields of cavity quantum electrodynamics and magnetism have recently merged into spintronics, investigating a quasiparticle that emerges from the strong coupling between standing electromagnetic waves confined in microwave resonator quanta spin waves, magnons. This phenomenon is now expected to be employed variety devices for applications ranging communication dark matter detection. To succ...

I wrote this thesis by myself and used none but the indicated resources. Text and figures were partly taken from corresponding publications, which originate directly from this work.

Spin-based electronics promises a radical alternative to chargebased electronics, namely the possibility of logic operations with much lower power consumption than equivalent charge-based logic operations. In this paper we review three potential means of dissipationless spin transport in semiconductors with and without spin-orbit coupling: the use of spin currents, propagating modes, and orbita...

Spin accumulation is a crucial but imprecise concept in spintronics. In metal-based spintronics it is characterized in terms of semiclassical distribution functions. In semiconductors with a strong spin-orbit coupling the spin accumulation is interpreted as a superposition of coherent eigenstates. Both views can be reconciled by taking into account the electron-electron interaction: a sufficien...

The field of spintronics, which uses the spin of an electron besides its charge as a carrier of information in electronics, has seen much theoretical and experimental progress over the last decades [1]. The spin degree of freedom interacts less with its environment than does the charge degree of freedom. Hence spin-based electronics may have some advantages—less dissipation of power, for exampl...
