Semiconductor Spintronics, as an emerging research discipline and an important advanced field in physics, has developed quickly and obtained fruitful results in recent decades. This volume is the first monograph summarizing the physical foundation and the experimental results obtained in this field. With the culmination of the authors' extensive working experiences, this book presents the developing history of semiconductor spintronics, its basic concepts and theories, experimental results, and the prospected future development. This unique book intends to provide a systematic and modern foundation for semiconductor spintronics aimed at researchers, professors, post-doctorates, and graduate students, and to help them master the overall knowledge of spintronics.

“Overall the book is very good. There were also many sections with a good tutorial nature. The review sections have useful tables of properties and lots of figures from literature illustrating results and how they were obtained. The overview descriptions of experiments are also generally very good. I would recommend this as a reference for researchers in the field, but also to graduate students who are guided and supplemented with other advanced courses.”
