Seki Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that creates spintronics materials by building nanostructures in a controlled way.
AboutAbout the lab
Drawing out magnetic properties through nanostructures.
The Seki Lab studies magnetic materials whose structures are controlled at the nanoscale, and the physical phenomena that appear in them.
At the nanoscale, magnetic properties based on electron spin are deeply tied to various transport phenomena.
Properties that do not show up in macroscopic magnets can be extracted and put to use at this size.
Combining thin-film growth techniques with microfabrication, the lab creates materials useful for spintronics and magnetics.
Key terms
- Spintronics
- A research field that uses the magnetic property of electrons (spin) in electronic technology
- Spin current
- A flow in which only the spin direction of electrons is carried, separate from an electric current
- Artificial lattice
- A material made by alternately stacking different kinds of metals in units of atomic layers
NewsLab news
A result on stabilizing spin with electric current was published in Nature Materials
A master's student received the Best Poster Award at the international symposium MSSp2025
Associate Professor Seki was promoted to Professor, and the Seki Lab was launched
ResearchResearch themes
Spintronics and magnetics depend on magnetic materials whose structures are controlled at the nanoscale to give them high functionality. Centered on nanostructuring and compositing through thin-film growth and microfabrication, the lab works on materials creation and fundamental research on physical phenomena.
