OPTICAL AND MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF LASER-DEPOSITED SEMICONDUCTING Zn{sub}(1-x)Co{sub}xO THIN FILMS

摘要

Recently, we have seen a rapid advance in the evolving field of spin electronics (or spintronics). In spintronics, some feasibilities of new electronic applications utilizing spin degree of freedom have been explored. Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) are promising materials for spintronics because they have both charge and spin degree of freedom in a single substance.
