Spin Transport

Spin transport refers to the movement of electron spins — a quantum property similar to tiny magnetic needles — through a material. Unlike charge transport, which involves electrons carrying electric charge, spin transport focuses on how these magnetic orientations move and interact within a substance. This process is fundamental to spintronics, a field aiming to develop electronic devices that use spin for data storage and processing, offering potential advantages like lower power consumption and faster operation. Essentially, it’s about controlling and harnessing the magnetic aspect of electrons to improve future technology.
