The 145th Topical Symposium of the Magnetic Society of Japan / The 10th Topical symposium of Spin-electronics

The forefront of Spin-current-driven devices

Spin-current -driven devices are an attractive research topic in magnetic devices because they have the high potential of active devices, such as spin transistor and spin diode. In addition, they will change the recording mechanism of the high density magnetic memories.
In this symposium, we will focus on the recent research on spin current driven magnetic phenomena and its’ potential to the devices. We have invited a number of active researchers in this field. They will inform us of the latest research achievements and discuss the Spin-current-driven devices. We very much look forward to your participation.
