Spintronics
Exploiting the electron spin in electronics is the central aim of spintronics.
Thus, understanding spin transport poses one of the major challenges in this
field. Our interests in this field have focused on GaMnAs which is a promising
material for spintronics applications, transport properties near ferromagnetic
phase transitions, as well as the anomalous Hall effect.
