Click For Summary
Spin polarization refers to the preferential alignment of electron spins in a specific direction, which can influence electronic properties. In spintronics, spin-polarized electrons are used to represent logic levels, allowing for the development of devices that utilize both charge and spin for information processing. The concept is tied to the quantum nature of electrons, where different spin states can correspond to binary logic states. However, the application of spin polarization in discrete electronics remains complex and not fully understood. Overall, spintronics holds potential for advancing computing technology through enhanced data processing capabilities.

Can any give me a general idea of what is Spin Polarization ? and how can spin polarized electrons define logic levels(Spintronics) ?

I don't know how magnetic polarization can account for defining logic levels ? as with each spin quantum number (1/2) the logic level shifts, I am just confused about the application of spin polarization within discrete electronics..
