PROSPECTION: HOW SPINTRONICS WILL AFFECT MACHINE VISION

Abstract

The article describes a look into the future, about how spintronics will affect machine vision. The authors describe the electron spin, the effect of giant magnetoresistance, and the device of spin diodes. Creating compact devices in the field of nanoelectronics creates a problem of high energy consumption. Relatively recently formed science – spintronics – allows you to reduce costs. It is known that the electron is the carrier of an elementary charge, and this property is based on the operation of all electronic devices. However, this particle is also characterized by the presence of its own angular momentum, i.e., spin. This causes the existence of a magnetic field around the electron. The effect of giant magnetoresistance also plays an important role. This phenomenon is considered the basis of spintronics and consists of the following. When a current flows through a structure that has several alternating layers, its resistance may vary depending on the nature of the magnetization of each layer in relation to each other.
