Unraveling local structure and magnetic order in lowdimensional ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic semiconductors. KU Leuven
For decades, electronics have essentially exploited the charge of electrons. By exploiting the additional spin degree of freedom, spin-electronics (or spintronics) promises a new generation of devices with the advantages of non-volatility and higher processing speed, integration density and power efficiency. A crucial step towards the full exploitation of the potential of spintronics lies in the discovery of magnetic semiconductors ...
