Spintronics booksMaterial engineeding in hybrid spintronics devicesThis book is a comprehensive experimental study into hybrid spintronics devices by Patrizio Graziosi.
Spin Transport in Ferromagnet-Semiconductor Heterostructures: Spintronics with Schottky Contact Spin-LEDs and Photodiodes: Materials, Spin Diodes, Experiments and ModelsThe book provides an introductory review of the concepts in physics of semiconductor heterostructures (quantum wells) and basic problems in spin transport and spin relaxation. Materials discussed in the book are iron and iron-cobalt as conventional ferromagnets, and III-V semiconductors (GaAs, InGaAs, AlGaAs). A detailed guidance is provided on performing and analyzing spin photodiode experiments, in which spin polarized electrons are created via excitation with circularly polarized light, and transferred across the interface (the spin ejection process). The book also addresses the spin injection process, where a fraction of electrons preserve their spin polarization while tunneling through the Schottky barrier, from the FM into the SC (the spin-LED concept). A supplemental chapter addressing magnetic anisotropy properties of such heterostructures and its active role in the process of spin transport is provided. The book contains 119 relevant figures and 6 appendices addressing experimental techniques in electro- and magneto-optics, numerical modeling and nanofabrication of spin diodes. MS PowerPoint slides are available from the author, for lecture and training preparation.
Magnetic Nanostructures in Modern Technology: Spintronics, Magnetic MEMS and RecordingA team of outstanding scientists in the field of modern magnetic nanotechnologies illustrates the state of the art in several areas of advanced magneto-electronic devices, magnetic micro-electromechanical systems and high density information storage technologies. The physics and chemistry of nano-scale systems have made rapid advances and there are real prospects of translating exciting scientific findings into a new generation of processes and high technology products with a potential impact on several industrial sectors. In particular the development of nano-structured magnetic materials plays a leading role in the increasing miniaturization of devices with superior performances. The application areas considered are:
Organic SpintronicsOrganic spintronics is a young field of research with ample current and future potential applications, including spin-valves used in reading and writing modes of magnetic information and memory devices, magnetic field effects on conductivity and electroluminescence, and optically detected magnetic resonance dynamics. The U.S. Department of Defense has invested half a million dollars to further the field of quantum spin-based electronics and the science behind this technology won the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physics. This book discusses in depth the latest discoveries in the field, including a look at the various materials and applications involved. Amazon link:
Spin Valves in Spintronics ApplicationsSince 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 ApplicationsNanomagnetism 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.
