DESCRIPTION:
"Using spin to replace or augment the
role of charge in signal processing devices, computing systems and circuits may
improve speed, power consumption, and device density in some cases―making the
study of spinone of the fastest-growing areas in micro- and nanoelectronics.
With most of the literature on the subject still highly advanced and heavily
theoretical, the demand for a practical introduction to the concepts relating
to spin has only now been filled.
Explains effects such as giant
magnetoresistance, the subject of the 2007 Nobel Prize in physics
Introduction to Spintronics is an accessible,
organized, and progressive presentation of the quantum mechanical concept of
spin. The authors build a foundation of principles and equations underlying the
physics, transport, and dynamics of spin in solid state systems. They explain
the use of spin for encoding qubits in quantum logic processors; clarify how
spin-orbit interaction forms the basis for certain spin-based devices such as
spintronic field effect transistors; and discuss the effects of magnetic fields
on spin-based device performance.
Covers active hybrid spintronic devices,
monolithic spintronic devices, passive spintronic devices, and devices based on
the giant magnetoresistance effect
