Advanced Functional Materials

Magnetic and spintronic materials are materials that exploit the intrinsic spin of electrons, as well as their charge, to enable new functionalities in electronics. Magnetic materials are used in applications like data storage, motors, and sensors, while spintronic materials take advantage of electron spin to create devices that are faster, more efficient, and capable of carrying more data. Examples include ferromagnetic materials for memory storage and topological insulators for quantum computing. These materials have the potential to revolutionize technologies such as next-generation memory devices, quantum computing, and advanced sensors.
