Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Spin manipulation is the key to the next-generation spintronic devices that can process information faster with higher energy efficiency and better recoverability. Most digital information today is encoded in the magnetization of ferromagnetic materials for spintronics applications.

The demand for magnetic memory for ever-increasing storage space fuels continuous research for energy-efficient manipulation of magnetism at miniature scales. Conventional current-driven spintronics inevitably suffers from the heating issue (ultrahigh current density), limiting device minimization and increasing energy consumption.

At present, the technologies of voltage control of magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) and light control (including laser light, polarized light, and visible light) of spintronics hold great promise compared to conventional current-driven methods. Papers that exhibit the potential to achieve the modulation of spin states effectively in an energy-efficient manner are welcome.

The flexible electronics have application prospects in many fields, including as wearable devices and in structural detection. Spintronics possess the merits of a fast response and high integration density, opening up possibilities for various applications. However, the integration of miniaturization on flexible substrates is impeded inevitably due to the high Joule heat from high current density (1012 A/m2). In this study, a prototype flexible spintronic with device antiferromagnetic/ferromagnetic heterojunctions is proposed. The interlayer coupling strength can be obviously altered by sunlight soaking via direct photo-induced electron doping. With the assistance of a small magnetic field (±125 Oe), the almost 180° flip of magnetization is realized. Furthermore, the magnetoresistance changes (15~29%) of flexible spintronics on fingers receiving light illumination are achieved successfully, exhibiting the wearable application potential. Our findings develop flexible spintronic sensors, expanding the vision for the novel generation of photovoltaic/spintronic devices. Full article
