AboutAbout the lab
Exploring physical phenomena related to the flow of electron spin
The Solid-State Electronic Properties Lab experimentally studies novel quantum transport phenomena that appear in conductors, magnets, superconductors, and their hybrid structures, which are artificially shaped into fine structures at the nanoscale.
The lab focuses in particular on physical phenomena related to "spin currents," which are flows of spin generated by the flow of electrons.
The research field dealing with phenomena in which the effects of electron spin appear in the flow of electricity is called spintronics, and this lab experimentally studies its physical aspects.
As the Future Semiconductor Research Division of the Center for Semiconductor and Device Ecosystem Research and Education, the lab also conducts research and development on next-generation semiconductor devices that make use of the properties of electron spin.

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.
Students who take part in an interview may receive a thank-you gift worth ¥1,000, regardless of what they say.
