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.

UNCLASSIFIED/ (FOR OFFIGili r L WEE 8HLV Finally, metallic spintronics and its applications discussed in this report are all based on already well-established physical phenomena such as GMR and STT. As the spintronics field is still in a relative state of infancy, new and more exciting phenomena are likely to be uncovered in the future. 6. References (1) Baibich, M. N., et al., Phys. Rev.
