Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), a nascent field in energy conversion technologies,
provide a novel approach to producing electrical energy from mechanical motion in the …

The discovery of the spin-torque effect has made magnetic nanodevices realistic candidates
for active elements of memory devices and applications. Magnetoresistive effects allow the …

This paper provides a tutorial overview over recent vigorous efforts to develop computing
systems based on spin waves instead of charges and voltages. Spin-wave computing can …

Conventional semiconductor-based logic and nanomagnet-based memory devices are built
out of stable, deterministic units such as standard metal-oxide semiconductor transistors, or …

Spintronics, or spin electronics, involves the study of active control and manipulation of spin
degrees of freedom in solid-state systems. This article reviews the current status of this …

This tutorial article introduces the physics of spin transfer torques in magnetic devices. Our
intention is that it be accessible to beginning graduate students. We provide an elementary …

The recent discovery that a spin-polarized electrical current can apply a large torque to a
ferromagnet, through direct transfer of spin angular momentum, offers the possibility of …

This paper draws attention to a hardware system which can be engineered so that its
intrinsic physics is described by the generalized Ising model and can encode the solution to …

This book emerged from a close collaboration of the authors which started in the fall of 2000.
Early that year one of us (JS) had joined the Stanford faculty after spending nearly 15 years …

The growth and characterization of functional oxide thin films that are ferroelectric, magnetic,
or both at the same time are reviewed. The evolution of synthesis techniques and how …
