Technical Nanospintronics Analysis of the Performance Optimization of Devices Based on Carbonaceous Materials

Abstract:

Technical analysis of the performance optimization of nanospintronics devices based on carbonaceous materials has been presented in this paper. Mathematical formulation of the nanospintronics devices and a brief theory of these devices have been briefly discussed. A qualitative review of some of important nanospintronics based devices has also been given. The paper is expected to be useful to the new entrants in this exciting field, and also for the designers of some novel devices based on use of carbonaceous materials in nanospintronics.
