Nanoscale chiral valley-photon interface through optical spin-orbit coupling. Researchers from TU Delft combine spintronics and nanophotonics in 2D material Delft University of Technology

Spintronics is an emerging field in which the spin of electrons, rather than the charge, is used to process data. Unfortunately, the spin only lasts for a very short time, making it difficult to exploit in electronics. Researchers from the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at TU Delft, working with the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research’s AMOLF institute, have now found a way to convert spin information into a predictable light signal at room temperature...
