Abstract

This project includes organization of a workshop to be conducted by NSF with support from WTEC, Inc. for a preliminary assessment of U.S. and international R&D activities in spin electronics. This topic has been identified by NSF's Engineering Directorate as the focus of a potential NSF/ENG research study. The purpose of the workshop, to be held December 14, 2001, is to gather facts and opinions from experts from the U.S. research community on how this emerging area of research should be defined for purposes of such a study, to provide an overview of U.S. and international R&D activities that fall within this definition. This information presented at the workshop will be distilled into a report for NSF/ENG.
