Research on Spintronic Functions of Non-Metallic Materials and Its Modulation by External Fields

Abstract

  Non-metallic materials, such as inorganic/organic semiconductors and topological quantum materials are now collecting significant attention in modern spintronics. The progress of the research field using the materials is quite rapid and tremendous amounts of significant studies have been published. In this review article, some important milestone works are introduced to enhance further acceleration of the research fields.
