Title: Spintronic devices

Abstract

A monolithic reusable microwire assembly can include a substrate and an electrically conductive thin-film wire formed on the substrate. The conductive thin-film wire can include a narrow segment forming an active area. A thermally and electrically insulating barrier can be formed on the electrically conductive thin-film wire. A roughness-reducing layer can be formed on the thermally and electrically insulating barrier and can have minimal surface roughness.
