INST Develops Sound-Based Spin Current Method

Researchers at INST Mohali developed a theoretical framework to generate and control spin currents using sound waves.

Researchers at the Institute of Nano Science and Technology, Mohali developed a theoretical framework using sound waves to generate and control spin currents. The work is linked to spintronics, a field that may support low-power computing and future communication technologies. Surface acoustic waves can help manipulate spin currents in advanced materials. The development is relevant for emerging technology and applied physics questions.
