Abstract
Résumé

This article presents a review of the state of the art of materials used in spintronics. It is devoted to materials exhibiting novel and exciting electronic properties: manganites, double perovskites, spinel ferrites and diluted magnetic semiconductors. We present the main features of these classes of materials as well as the most important solid state physics results obtained from them in the field of spintronics.

Nous présentons ici une revue de l'état de l'art actuel en matière de recherche fondamentale sur les matériaux pour la spintronique. L'article est essentiellement dédié aux matériaux présentant de nouvelles propirétés électroniques : les manganites, les doubles pérovskites, les ferrites spinelles et les semiconducteurs magnétiques dilués. Pour chacune de ces classes de matériaux, nous présenterons les principales caractéristiques ainsi que les plus importants résultats obtenus par leur aide dans le domaine de la spintronique et de la physique du solide.
