Additional information
Significance of output:
The first paper to demonstrate spin tranport through Ge and has started the entirely new research field of germanium spintronics. This is attractive because the larger spin orbit coupling in Ge compared to Si makes the former a much more promising material to introduce logic functionality. The work led to EPSRC grant (EP/J002968/1; £424,526 (Southampton), £1.6M (total)) and has inspired further research at Washington’s Naval Research Lab, which referred extensively to the paper and Researchers at Korea’s top institute KAIST cited the paper in Phys. Rev. B as one of two “important achievements in the field of spin detection”.
