Spintronic devices exploit the spin, as well as the charge, of electrons and could bring new capabilities to the microelectronics industry. However, in order for spintronic devices to meet the ever-increasing demands of the industry, innovation in terms of materials, processes and circuits are required. In an article in Nature Electronics, we review recent developments in spintronics that could soon have an impact on the microelectronics and information technology industry. […]
We develop novel nanodevices to gain insight into the physical properties of materials at the nanoscale, from metals to graphene, to topological insulators
