NRL Scientists Mark Advance with Silicon Spintronics
Description Naval Research Laboratory researchers have demonstrated that spin accumulation in silicon, called semiconductor spintronics, is a viable a basis for practical devices. The work, conducted at at the Materials Science and Technology Division shows that devices could rely on electron spin -- rather than electron charge -- to boost performance, lower power consumption and reduce heat dissipation.
