摘要
An overview is given of the state of the art in spin electronics. The technical basis is reviewed and simple ideas of giant magnetoresistance discussed. The connection between spin electronics and mesomagnetism is explored. Three-terminal spin-electronic devices are introduced of various types including hot carrier and hybrid spin/semiconductor devices. Spin-tunnel devices are examined and single spin electronics is also treated. The paper concludes with an outlook on future prospects in this field.
