Spintronics: Spin Electronics and Optoelectronics in Semiconductors

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Solid State Physics

Part of the book series: Advances in Solid State Physics Volume 41 ((ASSP,volume 41))

Abstract

Spin electronics in semiconductors is a fascinating new field of research with high potential towards new kinds of semiconductor devices. We pick spin optoelectronics as examplary subfield and discuss from this point of view potentials, recent advances, and problems. We show spin optoelectronic devices, critically analyse spin injection and spin transport, show results concerning GaMnAs, and present data about spin dephasing in semiconductors.
