ABSTRACT:
A spin transistor uses a single potential barrier structure to increase a current fluctuation rate. The spin transistor may include at least one of an emitter, a collector, a base and a base resistor. The emitter may be a magneto-resistant device, which may provide an adjustable resistance based on a magnetic field. The collector may be a passive device which may provide the single potential barrier. The base may placed between the emitter and the collector, and may couple the emitter with the collector. The base resistor may be connected to the base in order to provide a bias.
