Creation of Electrical Spin Injectors for Silicon Spintronics: Achievements and Prospects

摘要

Literature data on the effective electrical injectors of electron spin for silicon spintronics and stages of the investigation of corresponding magnetic tunnel contacts are reviewed up to 2015 year and a consideration of the current state of the research is given. Different structures for the spin injection, materials and possible applications in silicon spintronics are considered and also possible future research directions are outlined.
