PHYSICS/BK21 SEMINAR[5.27]

“Novel phenomena in spintronic tunneling devices ”

  * Speaker : Dr. See-Hun Yang (IBM Almaden Research Center, IBM Research Division )

 * Place : Physics Seminar Room (Science Bldg, 3-201)

 * Date & Time : May  27 (Thu.)  3:00  ~  4:00 pm

*Abstract

Tremendous efforts and studies have been made to take advantage of the other degree of

freedom of carriers with the solid state device besides charge: spin. In particular, spin-

dependent tunneling have been recognized to be one of the most promising quantum

mechanical phenomena for application to new type of non-volatile memory and logic

devices. However, only little has been yet understood about underlying physics on this

behavior. In this seminar, I will discuss various novel phenomena originated from spin

dependent tunneling in a variety of spintronic devices. Also some new materials and

devices that may be potentially useful for quantum computation will be briefly addressed.
