Part of the book series: Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences ((SSSOL,volume 157))

Abstract

This introductory chapter is mainly addressed to readers new to the field. In Sect. 1.1 a brief review of the historical roots of the current research is given. Section 1.2 describes various spin interactions. Section 1.3 is a mini textbook on semiconductor physics designed for beginners. A short overview of spin phenomena in semiconductors is given in Sect. 1.4. Finally, Sect. 1.5 presents the topics discussed in the chapters to follow.
