Spin Electronics and Spin Computation
Preprint
- 13 May 2001
Abstract
We review several proposed spintronic devices that can provide new functionality or improve available functions of electronic devices. In particular, we discuss a high mobility field effect spin transistor, an all-metal spin transistor, and our recent proposal of an all-semiconductor spin transistor and a spin battery. We also address some key issues in spin-polarized transport, which are relevant to the feasibility and operation of hybrid semiconductor devices. Finally, we discuss a more radical aspect of spintronic research--the spin-based quantum computation and quantum information processing.Keywords
