Spin electronics encompasses a multidisciplinary research effort involving magnetism, semiconductor electronics, materials science, chemistry and biology. SPIN aims to provide a forum for the presentation of research and review articles of interest to all researchers in the field. The scope of the journal includes (but is not necessarily limited to) the following topics: *Materials: -Metals -Heusler compounds -Complex oxides: antiferromagnetic, ferromagnetic -Dilute magnetic semiconductors -Dilute magnetic oxides -High performance and emerging magnetic materials *Semiconductor electronics *Nanodevices: -Fabrication -Characterization *Spin injection *Spin transport *Spin transfer torque *Spin torque oscillators *Electrical control of magnetic properties *Organic spintronics *Optical phenomena and optoelectronic spin manipulation *Applications and devices: -Novel memories and logic devices -Lab-on-a-chip -Others *Fundamental and interdisciplinary studies: -Spin in low dimensional system -Spin in medical sciences -Spin in other fields -Computational materials discovery
