The article provides an overview of antiferromagnetic spintronics, a field that aims to leverage the unique properties of antiferromagnetic materials for spintronic applications. Antiferromagnets, characterized by alternating microscopic moments that cancel each other out, offer several advantages over ferromagnets, including zero stray fields, robust magnetic storage, and intrinsic high-frequency dynamics. The authors discuss the challenges and recent progress in manipulating and detecting the magnetic states of antiferromagnets, focusing on electrical control through non-relativistic and relativistic spin transfer torque effects. They also explore the potential of antiferromagnets in generating, detecting, and transmitting spin currents, as well as their fast dynamics and diverse material properties. The article concludes with a discussion on future research directions and potential applications, such as magnetic cloaking and improved MRAMs.The article provides an overview of antiferromagnetic spintronics, a field that aims to leverage the unique properties of antiferromagnetic materials for spintronic applications.
