Minisymposium (ID: SS-RPSETS)

Recent progress in spintronics: Experiment, theory and simulation

Organizers: Jingrun Chen and Xu Yang (UC Santa Barbara)

Spintronics refers to the active control and manipulation of spin degrees of freedom in solid-state physics. Its study is challenging, as it involves a number of processes at different time and length scales: polarization of the spin, transport and diffusion of the polarized spin between the ferromagnetic layers, and interaction with the underlying magnetization. Experimental results show that exploiting the spin of the electron can lead to technological advances and the design of devices with new functionality. The objective of this minisymposium is to bring together specialists in the field from different backgrounds, and facilitate the exchange of ideas and recent developments. Topics on experiment, theory and simulation will be discussed.
