Summary
In this thesis, we study spin transport and superconductivity in half-metallic devices. Spin is inherent to the nature of an electron and can be used for information storage, in addition to charge. Especially, the high spin polarization of half metals promises efficient spin manipulation with low power consumption. Therefore, this thesis presents spin-related phenomena such as domain walls, non-local spin transport, and superconductivity. By investigating these spin behaviors, our aim is to contribute to the advancement of frontier (super)spintronics, driving progress in relevant applications.
PhD dissertations
Approximately one week after the defence, PhD dissertations by Leiden PhD students are available digitally through the Leiden Repository, that offers free access to these PhD dissertations. Please note that in some cases a dissertation may be under embargo temporarily and access to its full-text version will only be granted later.
