ACCESSORIES

	Spin Dependent Transport in Magnetic Nanostructures (Advances in Condensed Matter Science) by Sadamichi Maekawa (Editor), Teruya Shinjo (Editor) In magnetic systems of nano-meter size, the interplay between spin and charge of electrons provides unique transport phenomena. In magnetic superlattices, magnetic and non-magnetic metallic thin films with thickness of the order of one nano-meter are piled-up alternately. This book introduces and explains the basic physics and applications of a variety of spin-dependent transport phenomena in magnetic nanostructures with particular emphasis on magnetic multilayers and magnetic tunnel...
	Physical Properties of Materials for Engineers by Daniel D. Pollock (Author) Physical Properties of Materials for Engineers, Second Edition introduces and explains modern theories of the properties of materials and devices for practical use by engineers. Introductory chapters discuss both classical mechanics and quantum mechanics to demonstrate the need for the quantum approach. Topics are presented in an uncomplicated manner; extensive cross-references are provided to emphasize the inter-relationships among the physical phenomena. Illustrations and problems based on...
	Novel Nanocrystalline Alloys and Magnetic Nanomaterials (Series in Materials Science and Engineering) by Brian Cantor (Editor) Nanocrystalline materials, featuring structures of the order 1-100 nm, exhibit remarkable structural, electrical, magnetic and optical properties, which can be exploited in a wide variety of structural and non-structural applications. Potential uses have been identified in the automotive, electronic, aerospace, clothing, chemical, fuel and lubrication industries, with applications ranging from flat panel displays to medical implants. Nanocrystalline Alloys, Novel and Magnetic...

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Product Description
Few books exist that cover the hot field of second-generation spintronic devices, despite their potential to revolutionize the IT industry.Compiling the obstacles and progress of spin-controlled devices into one source, Spintronic Materials and Technology presents an in-depth examination of the most recent technological spintronic developments. Featuring contributions from active researchers and leading experts, the book chronicles the main research challenges in spintronics. It first depicts the different classes of materials systems currently under investigation for use in spintronic devices. The contributors also address issues concerning the operation of spintronic devices, such as the new principle for future devices that use spin-polarized current. This promises to enable switching of individual spin components of the device while avoiding crosstalk at the nanoscale. The book concludes with descriptions of both Si and III-V semiconductor-based spin transistors and the integration of spin technology with photonics. The second-generation spintronic devices discussed in Spintronic Materials and Technology will not only improve the existing capabilities of electronic transistors, but will enable future computers to run faster and consume less power.
