Memory and Spin Injection Devices Involving Half Metals

الملخص EN

We suggest memory and spin injection devices fabricated with half-metallic materials and based on the anomalous Hall effect.

Schematic diagrams of the memory chips, in thin film and bulk crystal form, are presented.

Spin injection devices made in thin film form are also suggested.

These devices do not need any external magnetic field but make use of their own magnetization.

Only a gate voltage is needed.

The carriers are 100% spin polarized.

Memory devices may potentially be smaller, faster, and less volatile than existing ones, and the injection devices may be much smaller and more efficient than existing spin injection devices.
