Call for Papers for a Special Issue of
IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices on
“Spintronics-Devices and Circuits”
Submission deadline: 30 September, 2021
Publication date: April 2022
Spintronics is one of the emerging fields for the next-generation nanoscale devices offering better memory and processing capabilities with improved performance levels. It demonstrates great potential in the post-Moore era. Ever since the discovery of Giant Magneto-Resistance (GMR) effect in 1988, spintronics has shown rapid progress. Recent advances have expanded this technology to the entire electronics industry of sensors, memories, oscillators, quantum information processors, computer architecture, brain inspired computing and various other fields. Spintronics is now one of the most researched areas and is on the verge of becoming a mainstream technology. A hard disk drive (HDD) invented by IBM in 1956, now has a global market revenue of approximately $12bn. Other emerging field of application for this technology is magnetic field sensors that showcased a market revenue of ~$19b in 2018. The magnetic memory production at major foundries such as Samsung, Globalfoundries, Western Digital and TSMC marks the adoption of spintronics technology. However, in order to meet the ever-increasing demands of the industry, innovation in terms of modeling, design, materials, processes, circuits and applications are required. This Special Issue of the IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices will feature the most recent developments and the state-of-the-art in the field of spintronic devices, circuits and new architectures for high performance.
