The time response for electron-s spin it is greater than the electon-s charge in em. fields.No one utilized the plasmonics,because the time emission for a photon it is greater than 10e-08s.Today,computers utilize a freqwency greater than 1Ghz.This means a time response smaller than 10e-09s.This may be the real answer.

The plasmonics field has many wide-ranging applications, from guiding light through metal wires, to bio-sensing, to making objects invisible to the eye.

Also, they believe that with a slight alteration of the sample structure the effect is non-volatile, meaning that any given result can be maintained indefinitely without the necessity of a power source.



So smaller computer memories?

Kaneda: "How does light travel through metal wires?"
For what I hope to have understood, light (its magnetic field) acts on electrons' spins which propagate as plasmons.

Would be nice, since waveguides are bulky for today's semiconductors standards. Not so much because of the guide (Si, Ge have infrared permittivities around 15) but because of the insulation clearance between the guides.

Non-volatile memories would be good even at today's size and RAM's speed. Put your operating system in them. Better than Flash.
