2 what is an electron? particle with negative electric charge q=-e and spin 1/2 (magnetic moment m=µ B ) = electron as seen by an electronician: electronics = manipulation of electrons by using their charge for storage and processing of information the spin is (almost) completely neglected
3 principal electronic device: MOSFET source metallic gate oxide drain (SiO 2 ) application: logic gates random access memory inconvenients: volatility of the information energy consumption limited density of information semi-conductor (Si) + - metallic gate conducting channel (2D electron gas) transistor blocked electron as seen by a magnetician: purpose of magnetism: develop materials in which the electron spins tend to align parallel to each (magnets) the charge of the electrons plays a secondary role
4 application: mass storage of information (magnetic disks and tapes) advantages: non-volatility high storage density no energy consumption inconvenients: mechanical access to information Purpose of spin-electronics: ``Teaching electrons new tricks combine electronics and magnetism in order to make new devices in which both the charge and the spin oftheelectronplayanactiverole new fundamental physical questions new phenomena new devices and applications
