We describe a method of detecting a voltage from a spin-current, the spin-current comprising a current having a spin predominantly aligned in a spin direction, the method comprising: flowing the spin current through a layer of organic material in a vertical direction through the layer; and detecting an electric field in a lateral direction in the layer of organic material. In a preferred embodiment the organic layer is anisotropic and has a higher electrical conductivity in the lateral direction than in the vertical direction.

Electronic devices

The invention relates to a method for changing spin relaxation, a method for detecting a spin current, and a spintronic device using spin relaxation, and spin relaxation is changed through injection of a spin current. A spin currentis injected into a materialin a certain spin state, so that the spin relaxation time can be controlled.

Method for changing spin relaxation, method for detecting spin current and spintronics device using spin relaxation

A concrete means for making transmission over long distances possible using a spin-wave spin current is provided in a spintronic device and an information transmitting method. At least one metal electrode made of any of Pt, Au, Pd, Ag, Bi, alloys of these, or elements having an f-orbital are provided on top of a magnetic dielectric layer and, so that spin-wave spin current&#x2014;pure spin current exchange is carried out at the interface between the above described magnetic dielectric layer and the above described metal electrode.
