Spintronics : Materials, Devices, and Applications

Discover the latest advances in spintronic materials, devices, and applications

In Spintronics: Materials, Devices and Applications, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a holistic introduction to spintronic effects within cutting-edge materials and applications. Containing the perfect balance of academic research and practical application, the book discusses the potential―and the key limitations and challenges―of spintronic devices.

The latest title in the Wiley Series in Materials for Electronic and Optoelectronic Applications, Spintronics: Materials, Devices and Applications explores giant magneto-resistance (GMR) and tunneling magnetic resistance (TMR) materials, spin-transfer torque and spin-orbit torque materials, spin oscillators, and spin materials for use in artificial neural networks. Applications in multi-ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic materials are presented as well.

This book also includes:

• A thorough introduction to recent research developments in the fields of spintronic materials, devices, and applications
• Comprehensive explorations of skymions, magnetic semiconductors, and antiferromagnetic materials
• Practical discussions of spin-transfer torque materials and devices for magnetic random-access memory
• In-depth examinations of giant magneto-resistance materials and devices for magnetic sensors

Perfect for advanced students and researchers in materials science, physics, electronics, and computer science, Spintronics: Materials, Devices and Applications will also earn a place in the libraries of professionals working in the manufacture of optics, photonics, and nanometrology equipment.
