UW Madison News Semiconductors have traditionally relied on electron for the on/off switches to record and process information. The next iteration of computing, including low-power devices and quantum computers, is shifting to “spintronics,” will rely on new types of semiconductors that use a fundamental property of electrons called spin instead of electric charge.

Congratulations to Junqing Xu and Yuan Ping for their work on “Ab Initio Predictions of Spin Relaxation, Dephasing, and Diffusion in Solids”, published in Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation!  Link to the published article. Abstract: Spin relaxation, dephasing, and diffusion are at the heart of spin-based information technology. Accurate theoretical approaches to simulate spin...Read More
