Collaboration of quantum beams and computational science for new magnetic research Research on magnetic materials using synchrotron radiation, neutrons, lasers, and other quantum beams has made great progress recently, and space- and time-resolved measurements have become a standard technique. On the other hand, it is not easy to precisely analyze the obtained imaging data and extract the physically important phenomenon behind it, making theoretical research highly required. Under these demands, new methods such as machine learning and data-driven science are rapidly growing. Based on this new research development, this workshop is expected to promote collaborative use and research exchange by discussing new collaboration between quantum beams and theoretical research.

Magnetic sensors for advanced smart grid system In order to achieve a significant reduction in greenhouse gases emission, it is necessary to drastically reduce the wasted power consumption. The smart grid system is needed to control and optimize the flow of electricity from both supply and demand. In order to realize ultimate power management, current monitoring sensors to accurately measure both large electric currents flowing through transmission lines and small electric currents such as leakage current in the batteries are required. In this symposium, we will discuss the magnetic sensor technology to realize an advanced smart grid system. We expect your active participation. Date: December. 22nd (Tuesday), 2020 13:00 – […]

Present status and perspective of spintronics research in terahertz region In general, generation and detection of the terahertz (0.1 to 10 THz) signal are very difficult, because the region is boundary between radio-waves and light-waves. However, this region corresponds to excitation frequencies such as phonon, plasmon, magnon, and rotation of molecules, therefore very interesting phenomena should be lurking, which is important for the development of novel functionality. Recently, also in the field of magnetism research, ultrafast magnetization control (~10 ps) using picosecond pulses and terahertz magnetization dynamics using antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials have been reported. In this symposium, we invite five outstanding lecturers who are engaged in the studies of […]

Non-Destructive Inspection Using Magnetic Measurement and Application to Infrastructure Diagnosis The infrastructure facilities that were constructed during the economic growth—namely around the previous Tokyo Olympics in 1964—are turning 50 years old, and their aging is becoming a problem. The difficulty lies in the fact that the damage varies depending on the cases because every facility was custom-built and has been used in a different environment. Thus, accurate diagnosis of damage is crucial for efficient maintenance of the facilities that realizes both safety and long-life usage. As a method of non-destructive inspection, magnetic measurement has been explored because steel, which is a magnetic material, is used in most of the facilities. […]

Magnetic dynamics studied by combining X-ray and laser In recent condensed-matter physics, great amount of attention is paid not only to the static electronic states and magnetic structures of materials, but also to their dynamical properties in non-equilibrium and transient states. This background is the rapid development of experimental methods such as the advent of ultra-short pulse lasers and X-ray free electron lasers, which allows one to observe femtosecond regions. Now there is a strong desire for collaboration among various fields, including spin dynamics study of magnetic materials. In this workshop, 6 lecturers will introduce the forefront of research from the viewpoint of X-ray, laser, theory, etc. This is an […]
