Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled "The Advanced Spintronics Theory, Devices and Sensors", will delve into the rapidly evolving field of spintronics, a technology that exploits the intrinsic spin of electrons and their associated magnetic moment, in addition to their fundamental electronic charge, in solid-state devices.
Spintronics is a burgeoning field that could revolutionize the landscape of information technology, with advances that could lead to faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient sensors and devices. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements, breakthroughs, and trends in spintronic devices and sensors.
We invite contributions that explore novel materials and innovative design and fabrication techniques, as well as the theoretical underpinnings of spintronic devices. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics: spin-transfer torque devices, spin Hall effect sensors, spintronic memory and logic devices, and the use of topological materials in spintronics.
We also welcome submissions that discuss the challenges and potential solutions associated with the application of spintronic devices and sensors. These could encompass issues related to coherence, efficiency, scalability, and integration with existing technologies.
With this Special Issue, we aim to stimulate scholarly discussion and inspire further research in this exciting and promising field. We look forward to receiving contributions that enrich our understanding of spintronics and its potential to shape our technological future.
The following are some of the topics proposed for this Special Issue:
- The advanced spintronics materials and their new effects;
- Basic theory and sensor application research of spintronics;
- Research and development of quantum sensors;
- Spin-related devices and their quantum effects;
- Spin detection and storage technology
- New methods and technologies for spintronics devices;
