We propose a spintronic strain/stress sensor capable of sensing strain with a sensitivity of ∼10−13 Hz−1/2 at room temperature with an active sensing area of ∼1 cm2 and power dissipation of ∼1 W. This device measures stress or strain by monitoring the change in the spin-polarized current in a parallel array of free-standing nanowire spin valves when the array is subjected to compressive or tensile stress along the wires' length. Such a sensor can be fabricated using a variety of techniques involving nanolithography, self-assembly and epitaxial growth.
