Spintronics is the technology that could help create faster, smaller and more versatile devices.It is experimented that a simple combination of metal atoms and a flat sheet of one atom thick layer of pure carbon called graphene can be suitably engineered and used for this purpose.
The biggest challenge for the researchers and scientists was finding a semi-conductor material that has a net ‘spin’ at room temperature and determining how to set the spin.Using state of the art theoretical computations,the researchers team demonstrated that by place cobalt atoms in graphene holes,it is possible to set the spins in a controlled maner.The holes were created by removing one or two nearby carbon atoms.Setting the spin is the key to practical spintronics application for graphene.
