The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems awarded a $450,000 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to research and develop switchable persistent spin helix devices. The goal is to overcome key challenges in spintronic devices, which use electron spin rather than charge to carry information, by leveraging materials with strong spin-orbit coupling and electric-field tunable persistent spin helix effects. RPI will grow single crystals of specialty van der Waals semiconductors, fabricate proof-of-concept spin field effect transistors, and computationally model and experimentally study the spin-polarized band structure and spin dynamics of these novel materials and devices. This research aims to enable smaller, lower-power spintronic computing technologies.
