Summary: Experimental evidence of spin absorption orientation dependence in ferromagnetic materials is provided, facilitating the quantification of spin-mixing conductance. The obtained values suggest a limitation by the Sharvin conductance, challenging traditional models based solely on Larmor, transverse decoherence, and spin diffusion lengths.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that using bulk Rashba material GeTe as the spin-orbit channel can significantly enhance the spin-orbit torque. The enhanced interfacial spin-orbit coupling due to the bulk Rashba effect in the GeTe channel leads to a large field-like spin-orbit torque. The unconventional dependence on thickness of both GeTe and NiFe layers offers new possibilities for scalable in-plane spin-orbit torque devices.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the spin dynamics of different magnetic cations in ferrimagnetic oxide under continuous microwave excitation. Our results showed that the precessing cation moments remained rigid and collinear, and the effective spin relaxation was identical for all magnetic cations. This validates the commonly assumed ferromagnetic-like dynamics in resonantly driven ferrimagnetic oxide.

Summary: In this study, we experimentally investigated the spin-orbit interaction and quantum transport characteristics in a free-standing InAs nanosheet. By using a dual-gate field-effect device, we were able to independently control the carrier density in the nanosheet and the potential difference across it. Our results showed that by applying a voltage over the dual gate, the electron transport in the nanosheet can be tuned between weak antilocalization and weak localization regimes. We also observed a peak value of the spin-orbit length at which the Rashba-type spin-orbit interaction is suppressed and the Dresselhaus-type spin relaxation can be revealed.

Summary: This study demonstrates the dynamic control of moving electron spins via contactless gates that move together with the spins. It realizes the control of electron spins by utilizing potential dots defined by a surface acoustic wave.

Summary: The spin voltages produced in lateral spin-transport devices were investigated, revealing that the signals are influenced by various factors such as spin transport of mobile carriers, spin accumulation, and local spin signals. Additionally, a clear broad Hanle signal from confined electrons was observed in the nonlocal spin signal, which was suggested to be mediated by heat flow.

Summary: An experimental proposal at the intersection of quantum physics and general relativity involves measuring relativistic frame dragging and geodetic precession effects using the intrinsic spin of electrons. This proposed experiment aims to confirm important theoretical consequences by testing how massive rotating bodies warp spacetime and impact the behavior of intrinsic spin. By using ferromagnetic gyroscopes in orbit around the Earth, researchers can potentially observe macroscopic gyroscopic behavior linked to atomic electron spins and measure the Earth-induced Lense-Thirring and de Sitter effects with sufficient sensitivity.

Summary: In this study, a polarized spatially resolved microluminescence technique was used to investigate photocarrier charge and spin transport in a GaAs nanowire. The effects of strain on the emission spectra and spin polarization were examined, revealing damped spatial oscillations in the light-hole spin polarization due to spin-orbit interaction.

Summary: This work demonstrates voltage-controlled spin-orbit torque (SOT) switching in W/CoFeB/MgO films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) by applying voltage through SrTiO3 with high dielectric constant. The study shows that a DC voltage can significantly decrease PMA by 45%, reduce switching current by 23%, and increase damping-like torque, essential characteristics for voltage-controlled and voltage-select SOT switching spintronic devices.

Summary: The emerging semiconductor spintronics provides a practical routine for developing high-speed and energy-efficient electronic and optoelectronic devices. GaN holds broad prospects for room-temperature spintronic applications due to its weak spin scattering and moderate spin-orbit coupling. However, the development of GaN-based spintronic devices is hindered by the relatively low spin injection efficiency and gate controllability.

Summary: In this study, we demonstrate the potential of the Fe3GaTe2/graphene vdW heterostructure for room-temperature spintronic devices through the construction of graphene lateral spin valve devices. The nonlocal spin valve signals in this device are observed even at 320K, and the Fe3GaTe2 material is shown to be a promising candidate for room-temperature vdW spintronic devices due to its robust perpendicular magnetic anisotropy property.

Summary: The two-terminal magnetoresistance (2T-MR) in lateral spin valve devices with Si channel and Fe/MgO tunnel contacts of varying MgO thickness is investigated. The 2T-MR shows a significant maximum when the contact resistance is comparable to the spin resistance of the channel. However, at large contact resistance, despite the high tunnel spin polarization (TSP) of the contacts (90%), the 2T-MR is very small. The 2T-MR increases when the contact resistance is reduced, but the growth rate is lower than expected due to the decay of TSP for thinner MgO. For devices with the thinnest MgO and contact resistances near the predicted optimum, the 2T-MR is actually lower due to the smaller TSP (14%). Therefore, the optimization and scaling of 2T-MR are profoundly influenced by the variation of TSP with contact resistance, which is important for the design of practical two-terminal devices, including those with channel materials other than Si.

Summary: In this study, the modulation of magnetic easy-cone states through voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) significantly reduced the SOT switching current. The SOT switching current density is reduced by up to 50% when the easy-cone angle is changed from 0 degrees to 58 degrees. The magnetic easy-cone state is gradually modulated in a reversible and non-volatile manner, facilitating multilevel spintronic devices.

Summary: This study investigates the electron spin transport in a two-dimensional Si inversion channel through experimental and theoretical analysis. The distribution of electrons in the subbands, electron momentum scattering processes, electron momentum lifetime, and spin lifetime are examined. The results show that, even with significant changes in electron distribution, mobility, and temperature, the spin-flip probability remains nearly constant, indicating the presence of the Elliot-Yafet mechanism. The spin conservation length increases with higher electron mobility and spin drift, achieving a spin conservation efficiency of 94% through a 10 μm-long channel at 4 K.
