Epitaxial thin films of half-metallic CrO<inf>2</inf> deposited on oxidized Si substrates by PLD using Cr<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> target

Pulsed laser deposition of half-metallic CrO<inf>2</inf> thin films for spintronic applications

“…The main objective in these types of devices is to achieve the conversion of electricity into magnetism, which essentially involves spin-injecting ferromagnetic materials. Such materials ensure spin as a degree of freedom in addition to electronic charge of an electron for providing better functionality to the devices, improved switching speed, and lesser heat dissipation during operation [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”
