Spintronics

Example: Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

Spintronics is a field that utilizes the spin of electrons in addition to their charge to develop new types of electronic devices. In magnetic tunnel junctions, the spin-polarized current is controlled by the relative alignment of magnetic layers. These devices are used in applications like magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) and offer advantages in speed and data retention.
