a Conclusion
a As electronic devices become smaller, quantum properties of
the wavelike nature of electrons are no longer negligible
a Conventional electronic devices ignore the spin property and
rely strictly on the transport of the electrical charge of electrons
a Adding the spin degree of freedom provides new effects, new
capabilities and new functionalities
a Spintronic devices offer the possibility of enhanced
functionality, higher speed, and reduced power consumption

These "Spintronic" devices might lead to quantum
computers and quantum communication based on
electronic solid-state devices, thus changing the
perspective of information technology in the 21st century.
