Abstract

Recently, we have seen a rapid advance in the evolving field of spin electronics (or spintronics). In spintronics, some feasibilities of new electronic applications utilizing spin degree of freedom have been explored. Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) are premising materials for spintronics because they have both charge and spin degree of freedom in a single substance. DMSs are refereed to semiconductor alloys in which some atoms are randomly substituted for by magnetic atoms. (omitted)
