The success of spintronics - the science and technology of storing,
processing, sensing and communicating information using the quantum
mechanical spin degree of freedom of an electron - is critically
dependent on the ability to inject, detect and manipulate spins in
semiconductors either by incorporating ferromagnetic materials into
device architectures or by using external magnetic and electric
fields. In spintronics, the controlled generation and manipulation
of spin polarization in nonmagnetic semiconductors is required for
the design of spin-sensitive devices ranging from spin-qubit hosts,
quantum memory and gates, quantum teleporters, spin polarizers and
filters, spin-field-effect-transistors, and spin-splitters, among
others. One of the major challenges of spintronics is to control
the creation, manipulation, and detection of spin polarized
currents by purely electrical means. Another challenge is to
preserve spin coherence in a device for the longest time or over
the longest distance in order to produce reliable spintronic
processors. These challenges remain daunting, but some progress has
been made recently in overcoming some of the steepest obstacles.
This book covers some of the recent advances in the field of
spintronics using semiconductors.
Introduction to Spintronics provides an accessible, organized, and
progressive presentation of the quantum mechanical concept of spin
and the technology of using it to store, process, and communicate
information. Fully updated and expanded to 18 chapters, this Second
Edition: Reflects the explosion of study in spin-related physics,
addressing seven important physical phenomena with spintronic
device applications Discusses the recently discovered field of
spintronics without magnetism, which allows one to manipulate spin
currents by purely electrical means Explores lateral spin-orbit
interaction and its many nuances, as well as the possibility to
implement spin polarizers and analyzers using quantum point
contacts Introduces the concept of single-domain-nanomagnet-based
computing, an ultra-energy-efficient approach to compute and store
information using nanomagnets, offering a practical rendition of
single-spin logic architecture ideas and an alternative to
transistor-based computing hardware Features many new drill
problems, and includes a solution manual and figure slides with
qualifying course adoption Still the only known spintronics
textbook written in English, Introduction to Spintronics, Second
Edition is a must read for those interested in the science and
technology of storing, processing, and communicating information
via the spin degree of freedom of electrons.
