  • Course Overview

    • Spintronics, or “spin-electronics,” is a rapidly advancing field that underpins modern semiconductor device technology, particularly in memory and computing applications. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to spin-based devices, equipping participants with the foundational knowledge required for future research and industry roles. A fundamental understanding of magnetism and nano-magnets is essential for grasping spintronic concepts. The course begins with an overview of magnetism and magnetically ordered materials, including ferromagnets, ferrimagnets, and antiferromagnets. Key magnetic and spintronic properties of solids are explored through the principles of quantum mechanics and solid-state physics. While covering the fundamental physical processes governing these materials and devices, the course maintains a strong application-oriented perspective. participants will learn about real-world implementations, such as hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), magnetic RAM (MRAM), flash memory, memory crossbars, and emerging quantum devices. Additionally, the course introduces cutting-edge developments in memory and computing paradigms, including in-memory computing and neuromorphic architectures. By bridging fundamental principles with technological advancements, this course prepares participants to contribute to the next generation of spintronic memory and computing innovations.

    The primary objectives of the course are as follows:

    1. Exposing participants to the fundamentals of spin-electronics (spintronics).
    2. Building knowledge and capability about energy-efficient spin based electronic principles and materials.
    3. Familiarization with the basic devices and technologies based on spin driven electronics.
    4. Augmenting knowledge on new age memory and computing technologies.
