1 Welcome
We are happy to welcome you to Chania and to the Erasmus
Intensive Program (IP) “Spin – Electronics & Applications” –
SPEA 2014 hosted by the Department of Electronic Engineering of
School of Applied Sciences of the Technological Educational
Institute of Crete in Greece.
The TEI of Crete coordinates this Intensive Program. Partners in
this SPEA 2014 are the following Universities: University of
Cyprus, University of Regensburg, University of Surrey, Bilkent
University, University of Warsaw, University of Crete and
University of Istanbul.
Spintronics or spin electronics is an emerging technology that
exploits the intrinsic spin of the electron and involves the study of
the active control and manipulation of spin degrees of freedom in
solid-state systems in addition to its fundamental electronic charge.
The SPEA objective is to give a first introduction of this emerging
technology to final year undergraduate students from Physics,
Electronic Engineering and Materials Science Departments.
We hope that the multinational environment, the wide range of
talks & topics and presentations from fundamental aspects of
2 magnetism & quantum mechanics to spin electronics applications,
will inspire you.
We hope that the IP manual will answer many of your possible
questions and will make your stay in Chania more comfortable. In
any case please do not hesitate to contact with Dr Petridis and one
of the assistant students to answer your questions.
Regards,
Kostantinos Petridis
Erasmus IP SPEA 2014 Coordinator
