Mizukami Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies materials and devices in which spin is involved with charge, light, and quantum phenomena.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring materials and devices where spin meets charge, light, and quantum science.
The Spintronics Materials Lab studies materials and devices involving magnetism (spin).
Focusing on how spin relates to charge, light, and quantum phenomena respectively, the lab covers everything from device materials to new measurement techniques.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Mizukami Lab."
Key terms
- Spin
- A property that appears as the state and motion of magnetism. Some research uses its states and waves to store, process, and transmit information.
- Magnetic tunnel junction
- A device in which a thin insulating film is sandwiched between thin magnetic conductor films. When a voltage is applied, current flows by the tunnel effect.
- Tunnel magnetoresistance effect
- A phenomenon in which a device's electrical resistance changes depending on whether the magnetizations of the upper and lower magnets are parallel or antiparallel. Also called the TMR effect.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies materials and devices involving magnetism (spin) from three angles: charge, light, and quantum phenomena. Its core areas are magnetic tunnel junctions, control of spin with laser light, and quantum technology using spin defects in diamond.
*Illustrative imageMaterials research on magnetic tunnel junctions
The lab studies device materials that enhance the tunnel magnetoresistance effect in magnetic tunnel junctions, in which a thin insulating film is sandwiched between thin magnetic films. It pursues new magnetic electrode materials and insulating barrier materials, and incorporates approaches such as machine learning in collaboration with other groups.
*Illustrative imageControlling spin with light
The lab conducts research on controlling the state and dynamics of spins in nanomagnets with laser light, along with fundamental physics and materials research to make this more efficient. It has built its own spin measurement techniques using laser light, and also studies memory and interfaces that use light and spin.
*Illustrative imageQuantum and spin materials and devices
This is research on quantum technology using spin defects in diamond. Combining the development of electrical control technology for spin defects led by Collaborative Associate Professor Morishita with the work of Prof. Mizukami, the lab advances research and development of its own quantum and spin materials and devices.
