Spintronics, also known as "spin-based electronics," merges electronics and magnetism at the nanoscale and holds great promise for emerging quantum technologies and the next generation of data storage and sensing devices. Reducing the size of current spintronics devices with conventional magnetic...

Quantum-Mechanical Assessment of Graphene and MoS2 Transistors for Future Radio-Frequency Electronics
DownloadSpring 2017
Due to aggressive device scaling, the performance and cost-effectiveness of field-effect transistors (FETs) have improved exponentially over the last 60 years, a trend known as Moore’s Law. Unfortunately, obstacles have arisen to further scaling, including decreased electrostatic control of the...
