True or False: Spintronics exploits the electron's spin degree of freedom, in addition to its charge, for information processing.
- True
- False
Answer: True
Spin-based devices (MRAM, spin transistors) offer non-volatility, lower power, higher speed vs. charge-only electronics. Applications: high-density storage, quantum computing interfaces. Emerging field in condensed matter physics. [[NCERT Physics Class 12]]
