L'électronique de spin ou la « spintronique » est un domaine de recherche qui connaît une forte évolution grâce aux nombreuses applications qui sont soient déjà mises en œuvre dans des composants disponibles sur le marché ou en cours de développement. L'extension de la spintronique aux semiconducteurs présente des perspectives d'applications très prometteuses grâce à la possibilité d'associer spintronique et électronique conventionnelle. Ceci passe par une étude fondamentale des mécanismes d'injection et de collection de spins dans les semi-conducteurs. L'objectif de cet article est de faire le point sur les principaux résultats obtenus dans ce domaine.

Spin electronic or spintronics is a rapidly growing research field aimed at realizing new high-performance devices that takes advantage of the electron spin as well as of its charge. It is expected that the extension of spintronics to the semiconductors would lead to the development of a new class of functional devices. To do so, the mechanisms at the origin of spin injection and collection with the semiconductors have to be studied first. The aim of this article is to summarize the main results that have been obtained recently in this field.
