4. Datta and Das appropriately called their device "an electronic analog of the electro-optic modulator" rather than a "spin field effect transistor". This device may not have all the attributes of a useful transistor and is probably not competitive with state-of-the-art silicon transistors in terms of speed or power dissipation (see Ref. [12]).
