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 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 ...

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 ...

Stack of the spin-LED emitting circularly polarized electroluminescence. The (R-MBA 2 Pbl) acts as a spin filter, allowing only polarized carriers (blue circles) to flow through the LED and recombine ...

(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 ...

(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 ...
