Abstract:
In 1911 Kamerlingh Onnes discovered the phenomenon of superconductivity. A hallmark of this intriguing superconducting state of matter, where the electrical resistance drops to zero, is its inability to survive beyond a critical magnetic field. Nearly 100 years later, an entirely new form of superconductivity was discovered in 2010 which not only survives in a magnetic field but can permeate inside a strong magnetic material making it superconducting.
In this talk, I will discuss the origins of this new type of superconductivity and the development of the research field of superconducting spintronics (superspintronics)1. Following some past work, I will focus on a few exciting recent developments in the field including our own work that could initiate the development of novel logic and memory devices in information and quantum technologies2.
