摘要：

Unipolar devices constructed from ferromagnetic semiconducting materials with variable magnetization direction are shown theoretically to behave very similarly to nonmagnetic bipolar devices such as the p-n diode and the bipolar (junction) transistor. Such devices may be applicable for magnetic sensing, nonvolatile memory, and reprogrammable logic. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
