Editing Spintronics (section)

=== Basic Principles of Spintronics ===
* '''Electron Spin''': The electron has a quantum property called spin, which can be thought of as an intrinsic form of angular momentum. Spin can have one of two orientations, typically referred to as "spin-up" and "spin-down."
* '''Magnetic Moment''': The spin of an electron gives rise to a magnetic moment, meaning the electron behaves like a tiny magnet. The alignment of these magnetic moments in a material is key to the functioning of spintronic devices.
* '''Spin Current''': In spintronics, instead of relying solely on the flow of electron charge (as in conventional electronics), devices can utilize a flow of electron spin, known as spin current. Spin currents can be manipulated independently of charge currents, providing an additional degree of freedom in device design.
