"lower-power, less heat dissipation... black phosphorus' puckered crystal structure means spin behavior dependent on direction... 2D black-phosphorus-based spin valves, encapsulated between hexagonal boron nitride layers... strong magnetic field causing increased spin signal, 6X longer life... electrically tunable nanosecond spin lifetimes using back-gate, exceptional spin anisotropy, electrically modulate spin transport, not solely controlled by binary state of spin. leverage spin anisotropy achieving directional control"
