What is Spintronics?
As the name suggests, Spintronic is nothing but Spin Electronics where we study the intrinsic study of electrons along with its magnetic moment for electronic materials and equipment so that we can achieve high performance and increased integration density compared to the traditional electronics. And we can achieve lower power consumption. as well.
Examples of Spintronics
There are several examples of spintronics devices like :
- spin transistors
- spin diodes
- spin filters
- spin ram
- spin logic gates
- spin oscillators
Spintronics
Spintronics, which stands for “spin transport electronics” is a branch of electronics that exploits the intrinsic spin of the electrons and their fundamental electronic charge for the various functionalities in solid-state devices. Unlike traditional electronics which rely solely on the charge of the electrons, spintronics utilizes both charge and spin properties for data storage, processing, and communication. Electron spins in Spintronics are used to represent binary data which enables efficient and faster data storage and data processing. It is also useful in creating devices that are energy efficient. One such example is a spin-based transistor which can reduce the consumption of power, leading to greener technology. In this article, we will study about Spintronics in detail.
