An international team has succeeded at BESSY II for the first time to elucidate how ultrafast spin-polarized current pulses can be characterized by measuring the ultrafast demagnetization in a ...

Researchers have for the first time reported the electrical detection of spin current on topological insulator surfaces at room temperature by employing a ferromagnetic detector.

The photocurrent generated by the spinning light is also spin-polarized, which means there are more electrons with spin in one direction than in the other.

The photocurrent generated by the spinning light is also spin-polarized, which means there are more electrons with spin in one direction than in the other.

Transfer of angular momentum from a spin-polarized current to a ferromagnet provides an efficient means to control the magnetization dynamics of nanomagnets. A peculiar consequence of this spin ...

Spin-polarized current is a charge current with an uneven distribution of electron spin directions – that is, different numbers of up spin and down spin electrons.

The interaction is so strong that the spin angular momentum of the electrons is locked perpendicular to their momentum, and generates a spontaneous spin polarized current on the surfaces of ...

In the spin-polarized current, the spins of electrons align in one direction, restricting the flow of the electrical current to one direction depending on the polarization of light.

Physicists in Japan have discovered a new way to create spin-polarized currents of electrons by simply heating one end of a magnetic sheet. The team was able to make a spin current in the sheet flow 6 ...

While the exact mechanism responsible for the observed long-lived persistent spin polarization remains to be better understood, we speculate on possible roles played by nuclear spins hyperfine coupled ...
