Electrons have a charge and a spin, but until recently, charges and spins have been considered
separately. In conventional electronics, the charges are manipulated by electric fields …

We adapt the spin accumulation model of the perpendicular transport in metallic magnetic
multilayers to the issue of spin injection from a ferromagnetic metal (F) into a semiconductor (N…

Recent measurements on Cu Mn spin-glass alloys have revealed that the anisotropy field
maintaining the remanent magnetization in the direction of the initial applied field is strongly …

Magnetic skyrmions are small swirling topological defects in the magnetization texture. Their
stabilization and dynamics depend strongly on their topological properties. In most cases, …

The remanent magnetization of ferromagnets has long been studied and used to store binary
information. While early magnetic memory designs relied on magnetization switching by …

Multiferroics are singular materials that can exhibit simultaneously electric and magnetic
orders. Some are ferroelectric and ferromagnetic and provide the opportunity to encode …

We explore a new type of domain wall structure in ultrathin films with perpendicular anisotropy,
that is influenced by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction due to the adjacent layers. This …

Spin information processing is a possible new paradigm for post-CMOS (complementary
metal-oxide semiconductor) electronics and efficient spin propagation over long distances is …

… Albert Fert, Vincent Cros and João Sampaio … Fert, unpublished observations; see also
Fig. 3b,c and Supplementary Movies S1–S3). It turns out that from these new calculations (i) …

Facing the ever-growing demand for data storage will most probably require a new paradigm.
Nanoscale magnetic skyrmions are anticipated to solve this issue as they are arguably the …
