Spin transistor

The magnetically sensitive transistor, also known as the spin transistor, spin field-effect transistor (spinFET), Datta–Das spin transistor or spintronic transistor (named for spintronics, the technology which this development spawned), originally proposed in 1990 by Supriyo Datta and Biswajit Das, is an alternative design on the common transistor invented in the 1940s. This device was considered one of the Nature Milestones in Spin in 2008.
