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.
