DESCRIPTION:Mark Stiles\, NIST\, Gaithersburg\, MD\, will present seminar. 
 Professor Dan Ralph\, host.\n\nSeminar Title: Spin Current: The Torque Wre
 nch of Spintronics\n\nAbstract: Spintronic devices use the spin of the ele
 ctron as well as its charge.  The current in these devices is spin polariz
 ed\, due to the inclusion of ferromagnetic materials\, so that their condu
 ctance depends on the state of the ferromagnet.  This dependence allows th
 ese devices to serve as sensitive magnetic field detectors or as memory el
 ements\, in which information is stored in the magnetic state.  However\, 
 not only does the polarized current depend on the magnetic configuration\,
  but the spin current can manipulate the magnetic state.  This recent deve
 lopment has led to rapid progress in novel memory devices.  In this talk\,
  I mention existing and proposed spintronic devices and describe the varie
 ty of ways in which the spin current can manipulate the magnetization.  I 
 focus on the recent emphasis in the field of using spin-orbit coupling to 
 enhance spin currents.  Recent measurements on these systems have shown dr
 amatic effects\, but the interpretation of the experiments is still contro
 versial\, making it a fast moving exciting field.\n\nPoster available.
