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 […]

The Fabrication and Characterization of Magnetic Materials – Characterization techniques using large-scale experimental facilities – In general terms, techniques for characterizing magnetic materials can be conveniently divided into two groups: those that are laboratory-based and those that are available at large-scale experimental facilities. In this Symposium, materials characterization techniques using synchrotron X-ray, neutron and muon beams produced at large-scale experimental facilities, such as SPring-8 and J-PARC, will be introduced. The symposium will open with a presentation by a materials fabrication expert on the topic of recent trends in magnetic materials research and the potential application of synchrotron X-ray, neutron and muon beams as characterization tools. This will be followed by […]

Wireless Energy Transmission Role of Magnetics and Biomedical Applications Wireless energy transmission is widely utilized in various practical uses. Although there is an eddy current loss to a certain extent, a magnetic field is transmitted through the human body. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables cross-sectional imaging with less influence from skull or pelvis. This advantage arises from transmission of the magnetic field through the body. The magnetic field is also expected to be utilized for various biomedical applications as functions of heating, transportation, power feeding. Since the research group at MIT has reported the experimental result on the magnetic field resonance method in 2007, research and development on the wireless […]

Spin-torque and its application for new generation recording The spin-torque, which is generated by spin-polarized current, has been well established as a method for controlling macroscopic magnetization in the last decade. Spin torque oscillator (STO) is one of the promising devices based on the spin-torque. The operation frequency of STOs is in the GHz bandwidth and controllable by changing the external current and/or field. A few applications of the STOs to new generation magnetic recording have been recently proposed such as a microwave assisted recording (MAMR) and reading multi-level recording. In this symposium, we invite four lecturers who are involved in spin-torque devices from the field of fundamental spintronics and […]

Researches and Products of High Sensitive Magnetic Sensors Recently, high sensitive magnetic sensors have attracted much attention from the perspective of both the academic interest and development of new products.
