摘要
Conventional semiconductor devices rely on the transport and storage of electronic charge. But electrons have spin as well as charge, and spin electronics is an emerging field that has already delivered commercial devices based on metallic materials. The goal of making similar devices from semiconductors is getting nearer thanks to two studies that show how to inject spin into a semiconductor.
