Indian scientists for the first time create a transparent conducting interface between two insulating materials with room temperature spin polarized electron gas
However, with the development of advanced materials and fabrication techniques, especially at the nanoscale, scientists are now creating condensed matter systems that exhibit these properties. This opens the door to a new era of spintronic devices with functionalities beyond conventional electronics. Scientists at the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST), an autonomous research institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) located in Mohali, India, have for the first time constructed a transparent conducting interface between two insulating materials with room-temperature spin polarized electron gas that allows for transparent devices with efficient spin currents. Prof. Suvankar Chakraborty and his group at INST have produced 2D electron gas (2DEG) with room-temperature spin polarization at an interface made of the chemicals LaFeO3 and SrTiO3.
