Nanostructures for Spintronics

This book discusses about the synthesis and use of nanostructures such as nanowires and thin films for spintronic device applications. Nanostructures, because of the extremely reduced size, exhibit different properties than in bulk phase. The novel properties that are only observable at nanoscale materials have vast area of applications, one area is spintronics also called the spin based electronics. This approach aims to include spin properties in addition to the charge properties of electron for the development of new generation of electronic devices.
