Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the development of nanoscale components has become a trend for ICs to achieve faster and denser requirements, and the spin-related interactions between carriers have become increasingly important. Therefore, the next generation of electronic devices must utilize both charge and spin properties of electrons in nanostructures. Spintronics, which combines the two fields of magnetism and electronics, and the application of spintronics will be one of the main areas of future research and development. This Special Issue is a forum dedicated to spintronics and magnetic semiconductor devices, covering both fundamental science and technological applications.

I encourage scientists around the world to raise the visibility of this field in the scientific community through this Special Issue.

Abstract
Molecular semiconductors with lanthanide ions have been synthesized based on BEDT-TTF and lanthanide chlorides: (BEDT-TTF)2[HoCl2(H2O)6]Cl2(H2O)2 (1, which contains a 4f holmium cation), and (BEDT-TTF)2LnCl4 [...] Read more.
Molecular semiconductors with lanthanide ions have been synthesized based on BEDT-TTF and lanthanide chlorides: (BEDT-TTF)2[HoCl2(H2O)6]Cl2(H2O)2 (1, which contains a 4f holmium cation), and (BEDT-TTF)2LnCl4(H2O)n (Ln = Dy, Tb, Ho (2–4), which contain 4f anions of lanthanides). Conductivity and EPR measurements have been carried out along with the SQUID magnetometry, and the crystal structure has been established for 1. The structure of 1 is characterized by an alternation of organic radical cation layers composed of BEDT-TTF chains and inorganic layers consisting of chains of the [HoCl2(H2O)6]+ cations interlinked by chlorine anions and crystallization water molecules. The magnetic susceptibility of 1–3 determined mainly by lanthanide ions follows the Curie–Weiss law with the Weiss temperatures of −3, −3, −2 K for 1–3, respectively, indicating weak antiferromagnetic coupling between paramagnetic lanthanide ions. The signals attributed to the BEDT-TTF+· radical cations only are observed in the EPR spectra of 1–3, which makes it possible to study their magnetic behavior. There are two types of chains in the organic layers of 1: the chains composed of neutral molecules and those formed by BEDT-TTF+· radical cations. As a result, uniform 1D antiferromagnetic coupling of spins is observed in the BEDT-TTF+· chains with estimated exchange interaction J = −10 K. The study of dynamic magnetic properties of 1–3 shows that these compounds are not SMMs. Full article

From the various aspects of spintronics the review highlights the area devoted to the creation of new functional materials based on magnetic semiconductors and demonstrates both the main physical phenomena involved and the technical possibilities of creating various devices: maser, p-n diode with colossal magnetoresistance, spin valve, magnetic lens, optical modulators, spin wave amplifier, etc. Particular attention is paid to promising research directions such as ultrafast spin transport and THz spectroscopy of magnetic semiconductors. Special care has been taken to include a brief theoretical background and experimental results for the new spintronics approach employing magnetostrictive semiconductors—strain-magnetooptics. Finally, it presents top-down approaches for magnetic semiconductors. The mechano-physical methods of obtaining and features of the physical properties of high-density nanoceramics based on complex magnetic oxides are considered. The potential possibility of using these nanoceramics as an absorber of solar energy, as well as in modulators of electromagnetic radiation, is shown. Full article

Self-powered magnetic sensors are fundamental for the development of Industry 4.0, the Internet of things (IoT), wireless sensor networks, unmanned vehicles, smart cities, and sustainability. This review aimed to elucidate the working principles, materials, manufacture, output properties, and perspectives of Wiegand sensors. A Wiegand sensor is composed of a magnetic sensing wire, which is called a Wiegand wire, and a pick-up coil for the output of an electrical signal and energy. The Wiegand sensor requires an external magnetic field of about 70 Gauss to induce Wiegand wire flux changes, which, in turn, generate an output pulse in the pick-up coil. Output energy of more than 3000 nJ per single pulse (open circuit) can be harvested. The output pulse is derived from the large Barkhausen effect. Therefore, the behavior of the sensor output is independent of the triggering and sensing frequencies. The objective of this review article was to comprehensively highlight research endeavors devoted to Wiegand sensors. Furthermore, application scenarios of current research results are highlighted to find potential gaps in the literature and future contributions. Perspectives and research opportunities of Wiegand sensors are proposed. Full article
