Spintronics and Magnetic Materials: Bridging Quantum Phenomena with Device Engineering

Author(s): Liwen Feng *

Spintronics, or spin-based electronics, has emerged as a revolutionary field that exploits the intrinsic spin of electrons, in addition to their charge, for information storage and processing. Unlike conventional electronics, which rely solely on charge transport, spintronics leverages magnetic materials and quantum phenomena to achieve higher efficiency, faster operation, and non-volatility in devices. This article explores the fundamental principles of spintronics, the role of magnetic materials in advancing the field, and the progress in integrating quantum spin effects into practical devices. It further highlights current challenges and future prospects, emphasizing the transformative potential of spintronics in computing, memory, and next-generation technologies.
