This book offers recent progress in the spintronic research of semiconductors. The authors, active in this field, provide both theoretical and experimental aspects of the current issues relationg to the aforesaid field and the potential applications of diluted maynetic semiconductors. An excellent reference in the spin-related semoconductor physics and electronics for graduate students and researchers!---Emeritus Prof Vasuo Oka IMRAM, Toboku University, Japan

Spintronics explores the spin degree of freedom of the electron to sense, store, process and tranfer information in addition to the electron charge. Semicondutor spintronics promises to combine new spin enabling functionality with the presentday microelectronics and optoelectronics, It also opens the door to new generation of devices and to the merging of electronics, photonics and magetics. The success of spintronics relies on out ability to create and control spins. Among many obstacles, generation of electron spin polarization and coherence at room temperature is one of the most important as well as the most challenging issues, which has attracted intense research efforts during recent years. Significant progresses have been made both theoretically and experimentally, While many issues remain unresolved.

This book provides an in-dept review of the rapidly developing field of spintronic semiconductors. It covers a broad range of topics, including growth and basic physical properties of diluted magnetic semiconductors based on II-VI, III-V and IV semiconductors, recent develipment in theory and experimental techniques and potential devic applictions: its aim is to provide postgraduate students researchers and engineers a comprehensive overview of out present knowledge and future perspective of spintronic semiconductors.
