About this book

This revised and expanded edition of the first comprehensive introduction to the rapidly-evolving field of spintronics covers ferromagnetism in nano-electrodes, spin injection, spin manipulation, and the practical use of these effects in next-generation electronics. Moreover, the book now also includes spin-based optics, topological materials and insulators, and the quantum spin Hall effect.

Second edition of the first book on spin-based electronics for students.

Includes entirely new chapter on spin-based optics.

In-depth exposition of topological materials and quantum spin Hall effect.

Includes exercises and future applications.
