In the past several decades, the research on spin transport and
magnetism has led to remarkable scientific and technological
breakthroughs, including Albert Fert and Peter Grunberg's Nobel
Prize-winning discovery of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in
magnetic metallic multilayers. Handbook of Spin Transport and
Magnetism provides a comprehensive, balanced account of the state
of the art in the field known as spin electronics or spintronics.
It reveals how key phenomena first discovered in one class of
materials, such as spin injection in metals, have been revisited
decades later in other materials systems, including silicon,
organic semiconductors, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carefully
engineered nanostructures. The first section of the book offers a
historical and personal perspective of the field written by Nobel
Prize laureate Albert Fert. The second section addresses physical
phenomena, such as GMR, in hybrid structures of ferromagnetic and
normal metals. The third section discusses recent developments in
spin-dependent tunneling, including magnetic tunnel junctions with
ferroelectric barriers. In the fourth section, the contributors
look at how to control spin and magnetism in semiconductors. In the
fifth section, they examine phenomena typically found in
nanostructures made from metals, superconductors, molecular
magnets, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, and graphene. The final
section covers novel spin-based applications, including advanced
magnetic sensors, nonvolatile magnetoresistive random access
memory, and semiconductor spin-lasers. The techniques and materials
of spintronics have rapidly evolved in recent years, leading to
vast improvements in hard drive storage and magnetic sensing. With
extensive cross-references between chapters, this seminal handbook
provides a complete guide to spin transport and magnetism across
various classes of materials and structures.
