Abstract

A Newly suggested idea of Spintronics Materials as Functional Materials and their Applications to harness Ambient Energy at the Normal Temperature on the basis of Quantum Thermodynamics has been suggested in this article. The approach to design the devices on the basis of Mathematical equations has been explained. The importance of Nernst equation in the analysis has also been discussed. A Qualitative Review of Spintronics Devices and their Applications to harness Ambient Energy has been presented in this article. A new member of the group of promising 2D materials called MXene has also been discussed briefly with emphasis on the use of such materials in harnessing energy. In addition, a new class of plasmons-quasiparticles having material like properties has been presented. The article should be of great utility to the researchers, designers and engineers engaged in developing devices based on Spintronics, MXene and Plasmonic quasiparticles with materials like properties, especially for harnessing energy.
