Spintronics manipulates individual magnetic moments to
integrate logic functions and non-volatile information storage on the
same platform. As is often the case in condensed matter science,
advances are made through the synthesis of novel materials and high
quality new physics materials. Giant magnetoresistance and dilute
magnetic semiconductors are two such examples. However, the remarkable
potential of spintronics for quantum computation faces major challenges
when it comes to controlling simultaneously several qbits encoded in
magnetic moments.
After a brief introduction to concepts in nanomagnetism and
spintronics, the text reviews recent techniques and their achievements
in the synthesis and fabrication of magnetic nanostructures. The
methods presented here emphasize bottom up or top down approaches for
nanodots, nanowires and thin films. They include: focused ion beam
irradiation, electron beam-induced chemical vapour deposition,
chemical, and electrochemical methods. The later part of the book
reviews magnetoelectric materials, the giant magnetoresistance in
magnetic superlattices, dynamics effects in spin transfer torque
oscillators, dilute magnetic oxides, rare earth nitrides with nuclear
resonance scattering, and Mossbauer spectroscopy in spintronics.
Finally, the last part of this book discusses applications to magnetic
storage and bio-magnetism.
Nanomagnetism and Spintronics will be useful to
graduate students and researchers and engineers in the field of
nanoscience.
