SPIN TRANSPORT ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

An electronic device is presented, the device comprises: a spin accumulating structure; a spin selective filter electrically connected at a first end thereof to a first surface of said spin accumulating layer structure; a charge carrier source attached to said spin selective filter at a second end of the spin selective filter; at least first and second pairs of electrical contacts which are connected to the spin accumulating layer structure and define first and second electrical paths through said spin accumulating layer, said first and second electrical paths intersecting within said spin accumulating layer structure. The device is configured to enable detection of variation of spin distribution of charge carriers within the spin accumulating layer structure by determining electrical voltage between the second pair of electrical contacts in response to an electrical current between the first pair of electrical contacts.
