IIT Bhubaneswar study identifies promising Semiconductor surface for next-generation spintronic devices

Bhubaneswar, Nov 10 (UNI) A new research study by an IIT Bhubaneswar scientist has identified a promising semiconductor surface that could pave the way for the development of next-generation electronic devices capable of processing and storing information using electron spin, potentially enabling faster and more energy-efficient technologies. The study, led by Dr. Manish Kumar Mohanta, Ramanujan Faculty in the Department of Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhubaneswar, identifies the (110) surface of cubic zinc-blende silver iodide (AgI) as a promising platform for hosting a quantum phenomenon known as Persistent Spin Texture (PST). The findings have been published…
