Abstract:
A spin transistor includes: an input part that is made of a material exhibiting a spin Hall effect and configured to transfer electrons with a predetermined direction of spin to a connecting part; and the connecting part that receives the electrons with the predetermined direction of spin from the input part, rotates the spin of the electrons in accordance with a gate voltage applied to the gate electrode, and transfers the electrons to the output part.
Abstract:
A complementary device including a gate electrode, a channel, a source electrode connected to the gate electrode and the channel, and a first drain electrode and a second drain electrode connected to the gate electrode and the channel is provided. The first/second drain electrode is formed so that, in accordance with a voltage applied to the gate electrode, electron spins injected into the source electrode are moved from the source electrode to the first/second drain electrode through the channel while rotating in a first/second direction. Directions of the electron spins that reach the first drain electrode and the second drain electrode are opposite to each other.
