A Magnetic Nano-Elevator for Three Dimensional Spintronic Devices

Information technologies will be responsible for about 20% of electricity consumption worldwide by 2025, which urgently requires the development of new types of greener nanoelectronic devices. Spintronics, making use of not only the charge of electrons but also of its intrinsic angular momentum (its spin) is an emerging technology that can overcome some of these challenges […]

Technique Tunes into Graphene Nanoribbons’ Electronic Potential

Ever since graphene, a thin carbon sheet just one-atom thick, was discovered more than 15 years ago, the wonder material became a workhorse in materials science research. From this body of work, other researchers learned that slicing graphene along the edge of its honeycomb lattice creates one-dimensional zigzag graphene strips or nanoribbons with exotic magnetic properties […]
