the electron. Either adding the spin degree of freedom to conventional charge-based …

This article reviews the current status of spin dynamics in semiconductors which has
achieved much progress in the recent years due to the fast growing field of semiconductor …

This Perspective surveys the state-of-the-art and future prospects of science and technology
employing nanoconfined light (nanophotonics and nanoplasmonics) in combination with …

Ultrafast optical pulses are used to initiate and measure free-induction decays of coherent
conduction electron spins and of embedded magnetic Mn 2+ ions in a series of magnetic …

Current and anticipated future research frontiers in magnetism and magnetic materials are
discussed from a perspective of soft X-ray synchrotron utilization. Topics covered include …

Femtosecond-resolved measurements of induced Faraday rotation reveal exchange
coupling between the spin angular momenta of charge carriers and a sublattice of magnetic …

This work addresses spin-dependent magnetotransport in a band-gap-matched ZnSe/Zn 1−

(Ga, Mn) As digital ferromagnetic heterostructures are grown by incorporating submonolayer
planes of MnAs into GaAs using molecular beam epitaxy. Structural and magnetic …

A microscopic model of indirect exchange interaction between transition metal impurities in
dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS) is proposed. The hybridization of the impurity d …

Spin-transistor designs relying on spin-orbit interaction suffer from low signal levels resulting
from low spin-injection efficiency and fast spin decay. Here, we present an alternative …
