A Sub-40nm Nanostructured La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 Planar Magnetic Memory

Arnal T., Bibes M., Lecoeur Ph., Mercey B., Prellier W., Haghiri-Gosnet A.M., Institut d'Electronique Fondamentale IEF/UMR8622, FR

A single-step nanolithography planar process, which allows generating the core-element of a spin-polarized magnetic memory in the fully spin-polarized La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) manganite, is reported. Taking benefit of the proximity effects due to backscattered electrons, a [...]

Theory of Spin Transport in an n-typed GaAs Quantum Well

Wu M.W., Weng M.Q., Univ. of Science & Technology of China, CN

We perform a many-body investigation of the spin diffusion/transport in an n-doped GaAs QW based on a set of many-body kinetic transport equations. These equations are derived for the spatial inhomogeneous system by using nonequilibrium [...]

The Use of Bohm Trajectories and the Effective Potential in Probing Quantum Mechanical Behavior in 2-D and Spintronic Sub-micron Devices

Shifren L., Akis R., Ferry D.K., Arizona State University, US

We utilize an effective potential to reproduce Bohm (quantum) trajectory behavior using purely classical trajectories. The effective potential is a novel method for including certain quantum phenomena into classical simulations by projecting the non-zero dimensions [...]
