The lab creates new energy materials by exploiting the relationship between spin and heat in magnetic materials.
AboutAbout the lab
Generating electricity from heat and spin.
The Mizuguchi Lab studies materials, based on magnetic materials, that convert energy through new mechanisms.
The lab explores mechanisms of energy conversion via spin current, the flow of spin, which is the tiny magnet-like property of electrons.
It works on spin caloritronics, the study of the relationship between heat and spin, and on developing materials and devices that extract electricity from heat flow.
The lab is also developing new magnetic materials useful for next-generation magnetic recording materials, permanent magnet materials, and spintronic devices.
Key terms
- Spin current
- A flow of spin, the tiny magnet-like property of electrons, in a particular direction
- Spin caloritronics
- A field that studies the relationship between heat and electron spin and applies it to uses such as energy conversion
- Anomalous Nernst effect
- A phenomenon in which applying a temperature difference to a magnetic material generates a voltage perpendicular to both the heat flow and the magnetization

ResearchResearch themes
Aiming to realize energy materials with new conversion mechanisms, the lab investigates the fundamental science of energy conversion via spin current and develops energy materials that are efficient, economical, and long-lasting. In particular, it uses the nanoscale "hyperspace" to research highly efficient energy conversion materials that combine the relationships among heat, spin, and electric field.
