Published: July 2005

We show theoretically that stimulated spin-flip Raman scattering can be used to inject spin currents in doped semiconductors with spin-split bands. A pure spin current, where oppositely oriented spins move in opposite directions, can be injected in zinc blende crystals and structures. The calculated spin current should be detectable by pump-probe optical spectroscopy and anomalous Hall effect measurement.

Implanting heteroatoms into organic π-conjugated molecules (OCMS) offered a great opportunity to fine-tune the chemical structures and optoelectronic properties. This work describes a new family of 1,4-azaphosphinines with extended σ-π hyperconjugations. The photophysical studies revealed that azaphosphinines exhibited narrow-band thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) ( full width at half-maximum: 26-40 nm).

Realizing spin-orbit torque (SOT)-driven magnetization switching offers promising opportunities for the advancement of next-generation spintronics. However, the relatively low charge-spin conversion efficiency accompanied by an ultrahigh critical switching current density () remains a significant obstacle to the further development of SOT-based storage elements. Herein, spin absorption engineering at the ferromagnet/nonmagnet interface is firstly proposed to achieve high SOT efficiency in Pt/Co/Ir trilayers.

This study introduces a simple approach to dynamically control multilevel optical ellipticity in ferrimagnetic GdFeCo alloys by switching the spin orientation through Joule heating induced by electrical current, with the assistance of a low magnetic field of 3.5 mT. It is demonstrated that selecting specific compositions of Gd (FeCo) alloys, with magnetic compensation temperatures near or above room temperature, allows for significant manipulation of the circular dichroism (CD) effect.

The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) demonstrates the potential for achieving quantized Hall resistance without the need for an external magnetic field, making it highly promising for reducing energy loss in electronic devices. Its realization and research rely heavily on precise first-principles calculations, which are essential for analyzing the electronic structures and topological properties of novel two-dimensional (2D) materials. This review article explores the theoretical progress of QAHE in 2D hexagonal monolayers with strong spin-orbit coupling and internal magnetic ordering.
