Emerging Spintronics Phenomena and Applications

Development of future sensor, memory, and computing nanodevices based on novel physical concepts is one of the significant research endeavors in solid-state research. The field of spintronics is one such promising area of nanoelectronics which uses both the charge and spin of an electron for device operations. The advantage offered by the spin systems is in their non-volatility and low-power functionality. This article reviews the emerging spintronic phenomena and the research advancements in diverse spin-based applications. Spin devices and systems for logic, memories, emerging computing schemes, flexible electronics, and terahertz emitters are discussed in this report.
