Spintronics: Nano-sandwich Triggers Novel Electron Behavior
Thursday, May 7, 2009 - 08:21
in Physics & Chemistry
A lattice of vanadium dioxide molecules just six atoms thick in which electrons appear to be guided by conflicting laws of physics depending on their direction of travel has been modeled by a team of physicists. Its unique properties could open up a new world of possibilities in the emerging field of spintronics technology, which takes advantage of the magnetic as well as the electric properties of electrons in the design of novel electronic devices.
