Magnetic Semiconductor
A core material in spintronics that combines the tunable carrier density of semiconductors with the spin-polarization capability of magnetic materials. Magnetic semiconductors can simultaneously control both the charge and spin states of electrons, making them a key material system for achieving spin injection and electrical control of magnetic properties.
