Abstract
A device comprising a channel for charge carriers comprising non-ferromagnetic semiconducting in which charge carriers exhibit spin-orbit coupling, a region of semiconducting material of opposite conductivity type to the channel and configured so as to form a junction with the channel for injecting spin-polarized charge carriers into an end of the channel and at least one lead connected to the channel for measuring a transverse voltage across the channel.
