Solid State Spintronics in SciAm
I just read an article that, among other things, provides a nice primer on spintronics in the October SciAm. Unfortunately to get even the online version, you need to be a subscriber. But if you are, this article gives some nice background on spintronics, with the usual helpful graphics that SciAm produces so well, which I’d recommend to go along with the recent news story I discussed talking about a breakthrough using silicon instead of artificial diamond, as the rest of the article discusses, or other costly semiconductors.
