Intellectual merit.This proposal requests partial funding support to organize a short course onSpin Transport and Devices during the 68th Device Research Conference. This short course aimsto introduce the device physics community attending DRC to the new science and potentialapplications of spin electronics and optoelectronics. It will bring together world experts in spinscience and technology and it will foster student participation.Broader Impact. The proposed short course on spin transport and devices will provide studentparticipants with an opportunity to gain exposure the basic physics and potential engineeringapplications of spin devices. The timing of this workshop is perfect for this generation ofstudents to learn how the new science and technology of spin devices is developing. Theselessons will be useful beyond spin electronics, as these students will be able to apply them tofuture new materials and technologies that they will encounter during their career. Special effortwill be made to involve female and minority students in the short course by advertisement andactive recruitment. In addition, the conference proceedings will be available online through theIEEE IEEExplore which will make them accessible world-wide.
