Claims
- 1. A spin driven resistor comprising:
a magnetic body having a resistance and a resonance frequency, said resistance capable of changing in response to an applied magnetic field while in the presence of an electromagnetic field; two wires, each said wire in electrical communication with said magnetic body; and a voltage source in electrical communication with each said wire so as to place a potential across said magnetic body, wherein said magnetic body reaches a maximum value of change in resistance when said magnetic body is subjected to an externally applied magnetic field while in the presence of an externally applied electromagnetic field.
- 2. The spin driven resistor according to claim 1 wherein said magnetic body comprises a material selected from the group consisting of metallic and semi-conducting magnets.
- 3. The spin driven resistor according to claim 1 wherein said magnetic body comprises vanadium di-tetracyanoethanide.
- 4. The spin driven resistor according to claim 1 wherein said spin driven resistor is subjected to said externally applied electromagnetic field while at a constant temperature.
- 5. The spin driven resistor according to claim 1 wherein said spin driven resistor is subjected to said externally applied magnetic field while at a constant temperature.
- 6. The spin driven resistor according to claim 1 wherein said externally applied magnetic field is an externally applied direct-current magnetic field.
- 7. The spin driven resistor according to claim 1 wherein said externally applied electromagnetic field comprises microwave radiation.
- 8. The spin driven resistor according to claim 7 wherein said microwave radiation has a power in the range of about 1 mW to about 25 mW.
- 9. The spin driven resistance according to claim 1 wherein said maximum value of change in resistance increases as said electromagnetic field increases in power.
- 10. The spin driven resistance according to claim 1 wherein said maximum value of change in resistance decreases as temperature increases.
