Download or read book Wide Bandgap Semiconductor Spintronics written by Vladimir Litvinov and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of the book presents spintronic properties of III–V nitride semiconductors. As wide bandgap III-nitride nanostructures are relatively new materials, the book pays particular attention to the difference between zinc-blende GaAs- and wurtzite GaN-based structures where the Rashba spin–orbit interaction plays a crucial role in voltage-controlled spin engineering. It also deals with topological insulators and discusses electrically driven zero-magnetic-field spin-splitting of surface electrons with respect to the specifics of electron-localized spin interaction and voltage-controlled ferromagnetism. It describes the recently identified zero-gap state—an anomalous quantum semimetal. The book comprises calculation of topological indexes in semiconductor and semimetal phases. It compares results that follow from the low-energy model and the Bernevig–Huges–Zhang model, which accounts for the full-Brillouin-zone electron spectrum. It also discusses the fractional quantization of Hall conductance and performs the direct calculation of Chern numbers for the inverted GaN/InN quantum well, determining topological properties by Chern number |C |=2. The book explores and actively discusses semiconductor spintronics and proposes various device implementations along the way. Although writings on this topic appear in the current literature, this book is focused on the materials science side of the question, providing a theoretical background for the most common concepts of spin-electron physics. It covers generic topics in spintronics without entering into device specifics since its aim is to give instructions to be used in solving problems of a general and specific nature. It is intended for graduate students and will serve as an introductory course in this specific field of solid state theory and applications.

Download or read book Handbook of Spin Transport and Magnetism written by Evgeny Y. Tsymbal and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-08-25 with total page 809 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past several decades, the research on spin transport and magnetism has led to remarkable scientific and technological breakthroughs, including Albert Fert and Peter Grünberg’s Nobel Prize-winning discovery of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) in magnetic metallic multilayers. Handbook of Spin Transport and Magnetism provides a comprehensive, balanced account of the state of the art in the field known as spin electronics or spintronics. It reveals how key phenomena first discovered in one class of materials, such as spin injection in metals, have been revisited decades later in other materials systems, including silicon, organic semiconductors, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and carefully engineered nanostructures. The first section of the book offers a historical and personal perspective of the field written by Nobel Prize laureate Albert Fert. The second section addresses physical phenomena, such as GMR, in hybrid structures of ferromagnetic and normal metals. The third section discusses recent developments in spin-dependent tunneling, including magnetic tunnel junctions with ferroelectric barriers. In the fourth section, the contributors look at how to control spin and magnetism in semiconductors. In the fifth section, they examine phenomena typically found in nanostructures made from metals, superconductors, molecular magnets, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, and graphene. The final section covers novel spin-based applications, including advanced magnetic sensors, nonvolatile magnetoresistive random access memory, and semiconductor spin-lasers. The techniques and materials of spintronics have rapidly evolved in recent years, leading to vast improvements in hard drive storage and magnetic sensing. With extensive cross-references between chapters, this seminal handbook provides a complete guide to spin transport and magnetism across various classes of materials and structures.
Download or read book The Thermoballistic Transport Model written by Reinhard Lipperheide and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents a comprehensive survey of the thermoballistic approach to charge carrier transport in semiconductors. This semi-classical approach, which the authors have developed over the past decade, bridges the gap between the opposing drift-diffusion and ballistic models of carrier transport. While incorporating basic features of the latter two models, the physical concept underlying the thermoballistic approach constitutes a novel, unifying scheme. It is based on the introduction of "ballistic configurations" arising from a random partitioning of the length of a semiconducting sample into ballistic transport intervals. Stochastic averaging of the ballistic carrier currents over the ballistic configurations results in a position-dependent thermoballistic current, which is the key element of the thermoballistic concept and forms the point of departure for the calculation of all relevant transport properties. In the book, the thermoballistic concept and its implementation are developed in great detail and specific examples of interest to current research in semiconductor physics and spintronics are worked out.
