About the Author

Teruya SHINJO is a professor emeritus of Kyoto University, having been engaged in the study of magnetic materials for about 40 years. He is well known from his research on Mossbauer spectroscopy, magnetic thin films and multilayers, and more recently spin-dependent transport phenomena in nanostructured magnetic systems.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

A comprehensive study of the most recent developments and research into spintronics

Editorial Reviews

"Chemists and materials scientists incorporate the many changes in the science and technology of spintronics since 2008 when the first edition was completed. After an overview, they cover giant, tunnel, and ballistic magnetoresistance…and related phenomena; spin injection and voltage effects in magnetic nanopillars and its applications; dynamics of magnetic domain walks in nanomagnetic systems; theoretical aspects of current-driven magnetization dynamics…"—ProtoView.com, January 2014
