Since The Discovery Of The Giant Magnetoresistance (gmr) Effect In Magnetic Multilayers In 1988, A New Branch Of Physics And Technology, Called Spin-electronics Or Spintronics, Has Emerged, Where The Flow Of Electrical Charge As Well As The Flow Of Electron Spin, The So-called Spin Current, Are Manipulated And Controlled Together. Recent Progress In The Physics Of Magnetism And The Application Of Spin Current Has Progressed In Tandem With The Nanofabrication Technology Of Magnets And The Engineering Of Interfaces And Thin Films. This Book Is Intended To Provide An Introduction And Guide To The New Physics And Applications Of Spin Current. The Emphasis Is Placed On The Interaction Between Spin And Charge Currents In Magnetic Nanostructures.
This book investigates the fundamental physics and technological applications of spin current within magnetic nanostructures. The authors, a team of experts in magnetism and condensed matter physics, synthesize recent advancements in electron spin manipulation to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding how spin and charge currents interact in thin-film systems.
