Physics Colloquium, "New Materials for Sprintronic Applications" by Dr. Don Heiman, Northeastern University

Science / Technology - Colloquium

Monday, October 9, 2006
4:00 PM-5:00 PM

Olin Hall

Devices for spin-electronic applications are expected to benefit from new materials and unique device structures. With that goal in mind, my research group is currently focusing on two main areas: making new semiconductors which are ferromagnetic; and fabricating novel ferromagnetic metals which are compatible with semiconductors. I will briefly review spintronic mechanisms and devices, followed by discussion of our current work on the MBE fabrication of GaAs-based ferromagnetic materials.
