Abstract

We review from a theoretical perspective the emerging field of spintronics where active control of spin transport and dynamics in electronic materials may provide novel device application possibilities. In particular, we discuss the quantum mechanical principles underlying spintronics applications, emphasizing the formidable challenges involving spin decoherence and spin injection facing any eventual device fabrication. We provide a critical assessment of the current status of the field with special attention to possible device applications.
