Nanomagnetism and Spintronics

by Teruya Shinjo (Editor)

Overview

The concise and accessible chapters of Nanomagnetism and Spintronics, Second Edition, cover the most recent research in areas of spin-current generation, spin-calorimetric effect, voltage effects on magnetic properties, spin-injection phenomena, giant magnetoresistance (GMR), and tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR).

Spintronics is a cutting-edge area in the field of magnetism that studies the interplay of magnetism and transport phenomena, demonstrating how electrons not only have charge but also spin. This second edition provides the background to understand this novel physical phenomenon and focuses on the most recent developments and research relating to spintronics.

This exciting new edition is an essential resource for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in industry who want to understand the concepts of spintronics, and keep up with recent research, all in one volume.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

A comprehensive study of the most recent developments and research into spintronics

Editorial Reviews

"Chemists and materials scientists incorporate the many changes in the science and technology of spintronics since 2008 when the first edition was completed. After an overview, they cover giant, tunnel, and ballistic magnetoresistance…and related phenomena; spin injection and voltage effects in magnetic nanopillars and its applications; dynamics of magnetic domain walks in nanomagnetic systems; theoretical aspects of current-driven magnetization dynamics…"—ProtoView.com, January 2014
