...Two recent experiments represent an important step towards electrical spin injection at room temperature. In the first, Klaus Ploog and co-workers at the Paul Drude Institute in Berlin have demonstrated that room-temperature spin injection is possible (

).
Meanwhile Vincent LaBella and co-workers at the University of Arkansas in the US have shown that the quality of semiconductor surfaces plays a vital role in spin injection (V LaBella et al. 2001 Science 292 1518).
