Kirill Belashchenko Publications
Much of our research is related to "spintronic" applications, that is, those dealing with existing or potential electronic devices whose operation depends on the manipulation of the electron spin (rather than charge used in traditional semiconductor electronics). Examples include magnetic tunnel junctions which are used as miniature field sensors in hard-drive read heads and as non-volatile random-access memory bits in specialized microchips, magnetoelectric heterostructures that can potentially enable fast, non-volatile, and low-power "magnetoelectric memory," or devices based on injection, manipulation, and detection of spin-polarized currents in semiconductors, which may potentially lead to a new generation of more efficient devices for computers. Our research, in particular, helps understand the properties of materials, as well as those of their surfaces or interfaces, which may be useful for such devices.
