Defense Intelligence Reference Document Metallic Spintronics

Defense Intelligence Agency · 27 pages · text from the file's own layer

This Defense Intelligence Reference Document, dated 23 March 2010 and produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency under its Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) program, is a technical report on metallic spintronics. It explains giant magnetoresistance, spin-transfer torque and antiferromagnetic spintronics, along with their uses in sensors, hard drive read heads and magnetic memory. It concludes that spintronic devices could enable low-power, radiation-resistant electronics suited to aerospace and long space missions.
