CONT

Une autre approche [est] le transistor magnétique à effet tunnel [...] Contrairement à l'exemple à vanne de spin [...], la polarisation en spin est assurée par une jonction tunnel, qui permet [...] d'injecter les électrons chauds dans la base à une énergie au-dessus du niveau de Fermi. Cette énergie est contrôlable par la différence de potentiel entre la base et l'émetteur [...]
