The electronic structure and spintronic potential of carbon nanotubes and transition metal nanowires : a theoretical investigation

The new technology of spintronics seeks to employ the quantum mechanical <i>spin</i> of electrons to encode and process information. For the construction of spintronic devices, a wide range of possible materials is available. Two highly promising candidates are carbon nanotubes (CNTs) an...
