Spin-valve Effect in Nanoscale Si-based Devices
Abstract
The silicon (Si) based spin-MOSFET (metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor) is considered to be the building block of low-power-consumption electronics, utilizing spin-degrees of freedom in semiconductor devices. In this paper, we review the latest results on the spin transport in nanoscale Si-based spin-valve devices, which is important to realize the nanoscale spin-MOSFET. Our results demonstrate the importance of ballistic transport in obtaining high spin-dependent output voltage in nanoscale Si spin-valve devices.
