Title of Project : Dilute magnetic semiconductors for spintronic applications Supervisor : Teo Kie Leong Contact Details: Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering National University of Singapore 4 Engineering Drive 3 Singapore 117576 Phone: (+65)6516-4543 Fax: (+65)6779-1103 Office: E2-03-30 E-mail: [email protected] Short Description The field of dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS) is currently one of intense activity. These materials are of great interest because of the novelty of their fundamental properties and also due to their potential as the basis of future semiconductor spintronic technologies which promise integration of magnetic, semiconducting and optical properties and a combination of information processing and storage functionalities. They should be compatible with existing microelectronic technologies and have potential as low-dissipation, non-volatile, and nano-scale alternatives to current microelectronics. The project involves molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of DMS materials, characterization, and electrical transport studies. Thin films and spintronic prototype devices, such as the spin-filters will be fabricated to investigate the spin injection efficiency and transport of spin-polaized current in semiconductor using different injector materials (spin sources), spin transfer interfaces or aligners and nanostructures.
