Abstract :
The success of an all-electronic semiconducting spintronic device rests on three elements, i.e., spin injection, spin manipulation, and spin detection. This paper focuses on various materials and their properties necessary to achieve these goals. Most of the focus will be on spin injection with lesser emphasis on manipulation and detection.
