Spintronics or spin electronics is the study of the role that is played by the spin of an electron in the solid-state physics and other devices that exploit spin properties. Spintronics is also known 2s spin Flextronics is the study of the intrinsic spin of the electrons and its associated magnetic moment, in addition to fundamental electronic charge in solid-state devices. For example. spin transport and spin relaxation in semiconductors and metals are important solid-state physics issues that are included in the fundamental research along with new technology being’implemented in the electronic storage technology. Spintronics helped in creating a prototype device which used in industry as a read head and a memory-storage cell is the giant-magneto resistive (GMR) sandwich structure which consists of alternating ferromagnetic and non-magnetic metal layers. Depending on the relative orientation of the magnetizations in the magnetic layers, the device resistance changes from small (parallel magnetizations) to large (antiparallel magnetizations).. Spintronics loresistance) is used to sense changes in magnet ‘magnetic field having one of two positions, known a Uup and down. This gives an extra two binary states to the conventional high and low logic valu Which are represented by simple currents. When the spin state is added to the mix, a bit can ha: Four possible states, which can be called as up-high, up-low, down-high and down- low. The four states represent quantum bits or qubits. Applications of Spintronics Some spintronics applications are given below: This change in fields. Electron spin ean be identified ance (also called m Spintronic devices are used in the field of mass-storage devices. It is used to compress massive amounts of data into a small area, as an instance, approximately one trillion bi Per square inch (1.5 Gbit/mm?) or roughly 1 TB data can be stored on a single-sided 3. diameter dist Spintronics is also used in the medical field to detect cancer, Spintronic technology in general holds promises for digital electronics. It has been tes in mass-storage components namely hard drives. Future Works in Spintronics Creation of spin polarization through optical or magnetic injection Spin-polarized Transport through semiconductor/superconductor interfaces Spin relaxation in metals and semiconductors Spin-based devices such as PN junctions and amplifiers Spin-based quantum computation and electron entanglement in different semicondu devices Intensity of Magnetisation (I) It is defined as the magnetic moment per unit volume of the magnetised substance M v which for a substance of length 2/ and cross-sectional area a becomes mx 21 _m ax2la Thus, it can also be defined as pole-strength per unit area of cross-section. The intensity of magnetisatior sometimes represented by M. In that case, another symbol is used for the magnetic moment. Magnetic Susceptibility (y,,) Itis the ratio of the magnetic moment per unit volume (J) to the magnetic field strength (#1) of the magnetis, field. Ils positive for a paramagnetic material and negative for a diamagnetic one. Relative Permeability (11,) tis the ratio of the magnetic permeability (1) of the substance to the permeability of the free space (Ll) # Ha This can also be defined as the ratio ofthe magnetic flux density produced in the medium to that which be produced in a vacuum by the same magnetising force.
