The 134th Topical Symposium of the Magnetics Society of Japan / The 22th Symposium of the Magnetic Artificial Structured Thin Film

The current status of spin electronics, and its future

In recent years, the research on the physics and applications of spin electronics are increasingly active in many companies and institutions worldwide. One of the most important applications is magnetic random access memory (MRAM) and Magnetoresistive heads, and information processing application based on spin dependent transport phenomena.
However, there are many subjects in order to actualize the applications. Especially, low electric power technology of spin reversal, a half metal thin film, a new device, etc. are considered to be important subjects, and various trials are carried out to the important subjects from a viewpoint of both basic research and application development.
In this joint symposium on “The current status of spin electronics, and its future “, researchers actively working in this field will give talks on their most recent results and will discuss the future of spin electronics. This symposium invites participation and active discussion of researchers, engineers, and students who are interested in this emerging field.
