High-Temperature Spintronic Devices and Circuits in Absence of Magnetic Field

Abstract

The main object of this project was to demonstrate: (a) spin-polarized light sources with large output circular polarization, and (b) spin-based electrical devices that could be ultimately applicable for logic and memory applications operating at high temperatures and in the absence of an externally applied magnetic field. For electrical spin-based devices, our focus shifted to multi-terminal spin valves in the vertical configuration as opposed to the lateral configuration. The long-term goal of this project was to study and gauge the prospects of engineering practical high temperature opto- and electrical semiconductor-based spintronic devices.
