Spin Valves in Spintronics Applications author: Seongtae Bae Jack H. asin: 3639234790 binding: Paperback list price: $107.00 USD amazon price: $132.12 USD

Since the spin-valve (SV) effect was first introduced in the beginning of 1990s, the giant/tunneling magnetoresistance (GMR/TMR) SV devices have been extensively used for building blocks of spintronics and magnetic information storage technology. The main purpose of this book is to provide concrete and well-organized core knowledge on SVs covering the general physics and theories elucidating magnetism, exchange bias, and GMR/TMR SV effects, the methodologies how to prepare and to characterize the SV materials, the applications of SV devices including magnetic recording read sensor, magnetic random access memory (MRAM), various spintronics devices, and the electrical and magnetic stability. The broad, deep, and state-of-art technical information provided by this book should help undergraduate/graduate students and the researchers to explore new scientifically challenges being faced in the field of magnetics, spintronics, and biomagnetics research areas.

Nanomagnetism and Spintronics: Fabrication, Materials, Characterization and Applications asin: 9814273058 binding: Hardcover list price: $94.00 USD amazon price: $94.00 USD

Nanomagnetism and spintronics are two close subfields of nanoscience, explaining the effect of substantial magnetic properties of matter when the materials fabrication is realized at a comparable length size. Nanomagnetism deals with the magnetic phenomena specific to the structures having dimensions in the submicron range. The fact that the electronic transport properties of materials are dependent on the magnetic properties' artificial nanostructures, i.e., giant magnetoresistance (GMR) or tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR), has revolutionized spintronics science and technology. This book explains the concepts of nanomagnetism and spintronics by viewing the most recent research works from internationally distinguished research groups. Placing special emphasis on crucial fundamental and technical aspects of nanomagnetism and spintronics, it serves as a one-stop reference for universities offering postgraduate programs in nanotechnology or related disciplines. This unique book deals with all three stages required for conducting research in nanomagnetism and spintronics including fabrication, characterization and applications of nanomagnetic and spintronics materials, providing general concepts and an insightful overview of this subject for research students and scientists from different backgrounds investigating the multidisciplinary area of nanotechnology.

Controllable Quantum States: Mesoscopic Superconductivity & Spintronics (MS+S2006), Procedings of the International Symposium, NTT Basic Res Labatories, Japan 27 February - 2 Marc asin: 9812814612 binding: Hardcover list price: $223.00 USD amazon price: $239.03 USD

This volume is a collection of papers from the fourth meeting of the International Symposium on Mesoscopic Superconductivity and Spintronics held at NTT Atsugi, Japan. Research in these fields has advanced a great deal since the previous meeting, largely because these fields have drawn much attention from the viewpoint of new quantum phenomena and quantum information technology. Mesoscopic superconductivity has been developed in new fields, such as a ferromagnet/superconductor junction, the proximity effect in unconventional superconductors, macroscopic quantum tunneling in high-Tc superconductors, quantum modulation of superconducting junctions and superconducting quantum bits. This book also covers transport and spins in nano-scale semiconductor structures such as quantum dots and wires, quantum interference and coherence and order in exotic materials, and some papers on quantum algorithm. This book adequately provides an overview of recent progress in mesoscopic superconductivity.
