=== Spintronic Materials ===
Spintronic devices require materials that can efficiently generate, manipulate, and detect spin currents. Key materials include:
* '''[[Ferromagnetic Materials]]''': These materials, such as iron, cobalt, and nickel, have a high degree of spin alignment, making them ideal for generating and manipulating spin currents.
* '''[[Semiconductors]]''': Semiconductors like silicon and gallium arsenide can be used in spintronic devices when doped with magnetic elements, enabling spin injection and detection.
* '''[[Topological Insulators]]''': These materials have surface states that are protected by time-reversal symmetry, allowing for the efficient transport of spin without dissipation, making them promising candidates for spintronic applications.
