Spintronics is an emergent research field that seeks a better understanding of the role of electronic spin in solid state physics. Exploring electrons’ charge and spin, significant technological advances might be achieved, ...

We consider the generation of a pure spin-current at zero bias voltage with a single time-dependent potential. To such end we study a device made of a mesoscopic ring connected to electrodes and clarify the interplay between ...

In this work, we analyzed samples of thin films Ni81Fe19 and Pd with ZnO spacer. Ni81Fe19 is a ferromagnet with a low saturation magnetic field. Pd is a normal metal with high spinorbit coupling, much used in spin Hall ...

Ferromagnetic systems under the influence of spin-polarized currents exhibit rich spatiotemporal dynamics at nanoscales. We study spin-transfer nano-oscillators driven by the combination of alternating and direct spin-polarized ...

We report the observation of spin pumping and inverse spin Hall effects in antiferromagnetically coupled [Co/Ru/Co]/Pt heterostructures. The “spin-flop” magnetization process observed in antiferromagnetically exchange ...

The competition between on-site Coulomb repulsion and Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) is studied on two-leg ladders by numerical techniques. By studying persistent currents in closed rings by exact diagonalization, it ...

Purpose of this paper: This paper examines the past and present of the university spin-off (USO) phenomenon by identifying research findings and synthesizing different spin-off practices from around the globe. The evolution ...
