SPINTRONIC DEVICES WITH CONSTRAINED SPINTRONIC DOPANT AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

摘要

A spintronic device may include at least one superlattice and at least one electrical contact coupled thereto, with the at least one superlattice including a plurality of groups of layers. Each group of layers may include a plurality of stacked base semiconductor monolayers defining a base semiconductor portion having a crystal lattice, at least one non-semiconductor monolayer constrained within the crystal lattice of adjacent base semiconductor portions, and a spintronic dopant. The spintronic dopant may be constrained within the crystal lattice of the base semiconductor portion by the at least one non-semiconductor monolayer. In some embodiments, the repeating structure of a superlattice may not be needed.
