  • Description: <jats:p>The effects of spin polarization control in hybrid magnetic-nonmagnetic conductor structures have been considered. The concept of a transistor capable of generating and amplifying a spin-alternating signal has been proposed. The transistor principle is based on spatial separation of spin components and their control with electric gates in the “current-in-plane” hybrid magnetic-nonmagnetic conductor structure. This control is achieved through the effect of spin-electric signal transformation predicted in this study. Such transistor is feasible on the grounds of present-day materials and technologies.</jats:p>
