| Abstract | Nontechnical description This project will explore a new class of materials for energy-efficient data processing and storage by harnessing the spin of electrons rather than their electric charge. Traditional microelectronics face increasing energy demands and shrinking size limits. Spin-based devices, on the other hand, can potentially run with lower power and higher performance. However, managing the direction of electron spins becomes essential at very small scales. To address this, the resear |
