发展中的自旋电子学

自旋电子学是一门最新发展起来的涉及磁学、电子学以及信息学的交叉学科。自旋电子器件与普通半导体电子器件相比具有不挥发、低功耗和高集成度等优点。磁学、电子学和信息学的结合有望产生出自旋场效应晶体管、自旋发光二极管、调制器及用于量子计算、量子通信等装置的新型器件。

Developing Spintronics

Spintronics,at the cross of magnetism,electronics and informatics,is a new emerging field of research in considerable expansion.The advantages of the spintronic devices would be nonvolatility,increased data processing speed,decreased electric power consumption and increased integration densities compared with conventional semiconductor electronic devices.It is envisioned that the magnetism,electronics and informatics will ultimately lead to new spin-based multifunctional devices such as spin field effect transistor,spin light emitting diode,modulators and quantum bits for quantum computation and communication.
