US researchers from the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and the State University of New York have fabricated an LED that uses a ferromagnetic Schottky contact as a means of injecting spin polarised ...

The first layer is a semitransparent anode, such as ITO, that injects unpolarized "holes," a quantum feature of electrons, with a certain spin. The second layer is the two-dimensional chiral hybrid ...

The generation of excess electron spin in semiconductors can provide extra information for logic operations, and is essential to many spin-based technologies. But it’s difficult to inject spin from ...

The inclusion of a special new perovskite layer has enabled scientists to create a "spin-polarized LED" without needing a magnetic field or extremely low temperatures, potentially clearing the path to ...

(Nanowerk News) Traditional electronics use semiconductors to transmit data through bursts of charged carriers (electrons or holes) to convey messages in “1s” and “0s.” Spintronic devices can process ...

(Nanowerk News) The field of spintronics focuses on spin transport behavior in magnetic metals, and the major findings in this area have important implications for the field of electronics. This is ...

We showed you a programmable spinning LED fan last month, but that was just a prototype shown at Computex that might be available sometime next year. Now here’s a lower-end $35 table fan with LEDs ...
