Nanomagnetism and Spintronics

Spintronics is a newly developing area in the field of magnetism, where the interplay of magnetism and transport phenomena is studied experimentally and theoretically. This book introduces the recent progresses in the researches relating to spintronics.

 

  • From electronics to spintronics.
  • Electron has not only charge but also spin
  • Spin current is the key word for future devices.
  • How peculiar are nanostructured magnetic systems?
  • What is GMRH: From discovery to applications (in case that GMR got the Nobel prize in 2007)

Magnetic Nanoparticles

This interdisciplinary approach to the topic brings together reviews of the physics, chemistry, fabrication and application of magnetic nanoparticles and nanostructures within a single cover. With its discussion of the basics as well as the most recent developments, and featuring many examples of practical applications, the result is both a clear and concise introduction to the topic for beginners and a guide to relevant comprehensive physical phenomena and essential technological applications for experienced researchers.

From the Back Cover:

Magnetism of nanoparticles is an area of intense development that touches many fields including material science, condensed matter physics, biology, medicine, planetary science, etc. Yet, in that brief time, magnetic nanoparticles have become a valued research tool in broad array of scientific, engineer and commercial field.

Controllable Quantum States: Mesoscopic Superconductivity & Spintronics

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.

Spin Polarization Measurements of Rare Earth Thin Films: A Study of Materials for Spintronic and Magnetoelectronic devices

Spin polarization, the difference in the number of spin-up and spin-down electrons, is an intrinsic property of ferromagnetic materials. Materials with high spin polarization have important technological implications for magnetoelectronic devices, e.g. devices that use magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ), giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and/or magnetic random access memory, (MRAM). The fundamental physics of high spin polarization materials forms the basis for future technological applications.In this work, measurements of spin polarization have been performed on caxis gadolinium and dysprosium thin films, epitaxially grown on (11-20) sapphire substrates with a tungsten (110) seed layer. The values of spin polarization of caxis epitaxial gadolinium and dysprosium films were obtained using the point contact Andreev reflection (PCAR) technique with quantitative analyses.

Spintronics, Volume 82 (Semiconductors and Semimetals)

This new volume focuses on a new, exciting field of research: Spintronics, the area also known as spin-based electronics. The ultimate aim of researchers in this area is to develop new devices which exploit the spin of an electron instead of, or in addition to, its electronic charge.

In recent years many groups worldwide have devoted huge eforts to research of spintronic materials, from their technology through characterization to modeling. The resultant explosion of papers in this field and the sold scientific results achieved justify the publication of this volume. Its goal is to summarize the current level of understanding and to highlight some key results and milestones that have been achieved to date.

Semiconductor spintronics is expected to lead to a new generation of transistors, lasers and integrated magnetic sensors that can be used to create ultra-low power, high speed memory, logic and photonic devices. In addition, development of novel devices such as spin-polarized light emitters, spin field effect transistors, integrated sensors and high-temperature electronics is anticipated.

* Spintronics has emerged as one of the fastest growing areas of research
* This text presents an in-depth examination of the most recent technological spintronic developments
* Includes contributions from leading scholars and industry experts

Nanotechnology: The Business

For the new nanotechnology entrepreneur, starting up a venture requires concise navigation through a sea of developmental red tape. This predicament is true of any startup, nano or not, but is particularly exacerbated by the fact that nanotechnology is a new and potentially disruptive technology.

The book presents an in-depth discussion of available corporate structures, delineating the advantages and disadvantages of each. It also describes an array of other issues the nano entrepreneur will encounter, from business plans and financing to budgeting, facilities procurement, and staffing.

With a scope like no other book of its size, this handy guide equips nano entrepreneurs with the expertise needed to sail smoothly through startup and ensure successful operations after initial incorporation.

From Bulk to Nano: The Many Sides of Magnetism

The field of magnetism is rapidly advancing in this new millennium, revealing an ever-wider diversity of magnetic phenomena on more than one scale. With the emergence of countless applications particularly on a nanoscale, and their unpredictable implications mostly on a macroscale, it may seem that different aspects of magnetism are unrelated. Quite often, the overwhelming amount of topics discussed in the professional literature views only parts of a field, ignoring a broader context. Therefore, the present book aims at addressing the relationship between apparently unconnected topics in magnetism. Less obvious relationships are revealed among individual fields on various scales, making them better understandable.
