Visualization and Manipulation of “Spins” It has become more important to understand/control nonuniform spin structures and spins, particularly in the field of surface/interface magnetism, molecular magnetism and spintronics. Recent researches have also pointed out that those nanoscale spin uniformities might govern macroscopic properties such as coercivity even in bulk permanent magnets. In this symposium, a wide variety of topics related with visualization and manipulation of spins will be introduced. We invite five outstanding lecturers of this research field. We expect your active participation. Date: Nov. 18th (Friday）, 2016 13:00 – 16:40 Venue: Room 510, Surugadai Memorial Hall, Chuo University (3-11-5 Kanda-Surugadai, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo） / Tel: 03-3292-3111 URL: http://www2.chuo-u.ac.jp/global/info/facility/surugadai.html Admission Fee: […]

New development of magnetics pioneered by antiferromagnetism Antiferromagnetic structures provide us with not only the academic interests such as a variety of origins for the antiferromagnetic orders, but also the important characteristics, e.g. endurance against the external disturbance and high frequency dynamics, that are useful for the practical applications. The antiferromagnetic spintronics and the magneto-caloric effect utilizing antiferromagnetic materials have recently shown the new developments, and the unique physical phenomena have also been reported in the antiferromagnetic and/or ferrimagnetic orders. These recent studies suggest the increased importance of antiferromagnetic orders. In this symposium, a wide variety of topics related with the antiferromagnetism will be introduced. We invite five outstanding lecturers […]

Development of Next Generation Materials for Spintronics In spintronics, a number of products, such as magnetic head for HDD and non-volatile memory as typified by MgO and CoFeB, are produced and are put to practical use. However, a further requirement for the new products, i.e., high recording density and power saving, etc…, is always abundant and the development of new next generation materials are necessary. In this symposium, we invite nine outstanding lecturers for four subtopics, “perpendicular magnetization”, “SOT, spin hall and topological”, “voltage-driven dynamic magnetization, magnetoelectric effect and skyrmion” and “half-metallic Heusler alloys”. We expect your active participation. Date: June 9th (Thursday）, 2016 9:20 – 16:45 Venue: Room330, Surugadai […]

Prospects of new nanomagnetic structures and spin-manipulation techniques for future magnetic devices ~ New phenomena pioneered by chiral magnetism and spin orbitronics ~ A new research field called “spin-orbitronics” which utilizes the interaction between “spin” and “orbit” has been attracting a great deal of attention. The research activity on the spin-orbitoronics has been expanded throughout the world since it is expected to create a principle of operation for the novel magnetic and spintronic devices including a large-capacity nonvolatile memory and a high-speed arithmetic device in the near future. Above all, “chirality” originating from the peculiar spatial symmetry in nanoscale layered structures or crystals is proposed to use for controlling the […]
