Summary

Spintronics refers to the study of the intrinsic spin of the electron and its associated magnetic moment. It has potential applications in the area of data storage and transfer. Spintronic systems are prominently present in dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS) and Heusler alloys. Some metal-based spintronic devices are tunnel magnetoresistance, spin-transfer torque and spin-wave logic devices. Non-volatile spin-logic devices that enable scaling are being widely studied. Spin-transfer and torque-based logic devices that use spins and magnets for information processes are also being developed. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of spintronics. Such selected concepts that redefine this field have been presented herein. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this textbook an invaluable source of knowledge.
