Front Line of Mixed-Anion Magnetic Materials Mixed anion compounds, which contain several different anions (negatively charged ions）, have more complicated coordination and electronic structures than single anion materials such as oxides and nitrides. From the characteristics, mixed anion compounds exhibit unique physical properties. More recently, as the development of the synthesis methods using high pressure or topochemical reaction, mixed anion compounds with the combination of various anions have been synthesized. New mixed anion materials with the novel magnetic properties have been also created. In this symposium, we invite five outstanding lecturers who are engaged in the studies of mixed-anion magnetic materials. We expect your active participation. Date: November 1st (Wednesday）, […]

Applications of High Magnetic Fields as a Way of Analysis Materials show some responses against high magnetic fields depending on their properties. Especially, effects of the magnetic force are well known. Behaviors of materials such as an alignment, position, direction of movement and the structure in case of many body system can be controlled through the magnetic force in non-contact manner. In microscopic scale, the application of magnetic field brings us intrinsic information of materials such as the chemical bonding state through the nuclear magnetic resonance. In most of the cases, higher resolution in analysis will be attained using higher magnetic fields. In this topical symposium, recent progresses of analytical […]

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.

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”.
