Spintronics Device Lab

AboutAbout the lab

Future devices opened up by spin

The Spintronics Device Lab aims to create new-function devices by drawing on knowledge of magnetism and the latest spintronic phenomena.
Spintronics is a field of conduction phenomena in which not only the electron but also the spin of the electron plays the leading role.
The lab is investigating structures and materials that reduce the write power of magnetic random access memory (MRAM), and is testing ideas for using skyrmions as a new information carrier.
On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Yuasa Lab."

ResearchResearch themes

Magnetic materials, the foundation of spintronics, have been studied for a long time, and understanding and deepening knowledge of their properties is important for building devices with new functions. The lab aims to create new-function devices by making full use of knowledge of magnetism and the latest spintronic phenomena.

Using spin as an information resource↗

The lab is investigating structures and materials that reduce the write power of non-volatile magnetic memory. It has also begun testing the idea of using stable topological objects as a new information carrier with the potential for small size, high speed, and low power consumption.

Ratings and reviews reflect the experiences of individual current or former students, not the lab's official views. Whether a lab has reviews, or how many, says nothing about the lab itself.
