Magnetic mono-layer boosts graphene spintronics

2D spin-logic devices could benefit from magnetic graphene that can efficiently convert charge to spin current, and can transfer this spin-polarisation over long distances, according to the University of Groningen. Graphene is a favoured amongst 2D materials for transporting spin information, but is cannot generate spin current unless its properties are modified – conventionally cobalt ferromagnetic ...

Processes a trillion edge graph without touching main memory

Korean research institute Kaist has found a way to develop a one trillion edge graph algorithm on a single computer without storing the graph in the main memory or on disc. ‘Develop’ is the important word here, as the research covers honing algorithms on synthetic data sets rather than on real big data. “Graphs are ...

PCIM: On’s 1.2kV SiC diodes and 650V superjunction mosfets

On Semiconductor announced 1,200V SiC diodes with automotive AECQ101 and industrial qualification at virtual PCIM. Of the diodes, On said: “The new design improves on the first generation SiC diodes thanks to a smaller die size and lower capacitance. NVDSH20120C, NDSH20120C, NVDSH50120C, and NDSH50120C deliver a lower forward voltage drop and a 4x increase in ...
