  1. Spin transport studies in band and interface tailored materials: towards total spin polarization for spin electronics Jagadeesh S. Moodera, MIT, DMR - 0504158 • A novel ferromagnetic semiconductor: • A novelmagnetic semiconductor has been developed. that may greatly increase the computing power, storage capacity, and flexibility of future electronic devices. • The magnetic semiconductor material created byus is indium oxide with chromium- and oxygen-induced defects. • This new material can be used to injectsspins of a given orientation into the semiconductor such as silicon. These spins then travel through the semiconductor and are read by a spindetector. • Spin injection at room temperature and its transparency shows the new material’s potential for application. • Published in Nature Materials (April 2006). • Media coverage of this work. A few examples are given below: • http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1593432.cms • http://www.elecdesign.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=13244 • Also in MIT TechTalk and website and in IEEE Spectrum Spin source Spin detector Gate Fig. 1 The magnetic properties of a Cr doped In2O3 film at 300K and the schematic of a spin based device – SpinFET

  2. Spin transport studies in band and interface tailored materials: towards total spin polarization for spin electronics Jagadeesh S. Moodera, MIT, DMR - 0504158 • ii)Influence of spin polarized current on superconductivity: • Superconductivity and ferromagnetism are two types of competing ordering of great technical importance. The effect of having them next to each other is investigated here. • When the two ferromagnetic (FM) layers are pointing same way in a FM/SC/FM system, it is more detrimental to the superconductor (SC) than when the two FMs are pointing opposite to one another – leads to a large sensor signal. • The above phenomenon is demonstrated here. Extremely large signal of over 1100% is observed by us (Fig. 2). • These are the one of the first results that clearly demonstrate the effect (signals can reach > thousandfold). • Educational:Research performed by the postdoctorals John Philip, Guoxing Miao and PhD student Tiffany Santos. The research is a collaborative effort between MIT, Boise State University (Idaho) and the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST).

Outreach: Three High school students took part in this research and one of them is a coauthor in the Nature publication.
