Nanospintronics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab studying spintronics, which manipulates the charge and spin of electrons.
AboutAbout the lab
Freely controlling the charge and spin of electrons.
The Nanospintronics Lab (Ono Lab) creates nanoscale artificial materials by combining metals, semiconductors, and other materials, and aims to control the diverse physical properties that arise from the charge, spin, and phase of electrons.
In particular, the lab aims to realize spintronics, which freely controls charge and spin, the two degrees of freedom of the electron.
The lab makes artificial materials by combining the fabrication of atomic-layer multilayer films by ultrahigh-vacuum deposition with nanometer-scale processing by electron beam lithography.
Key terms
- Spintronics
- Electronics that uses not only the charge of electrons but also their spin (a property like a tiny magnet)
- Domain wall
- The boundary between regions of a magnet in which the magnetic direction is aligned
- Spin wave
- A phenomenon in which fluctuations in the magnetic direction propagate as a wave inside a magnetic material
- Antiferromagnet
- A material in which the magnetic directions of neighboring atoms are aligned in opposite directions

ResearchResearch themes
Using nanoscale artificial materials as a platform, the lab controls physical properties such as electrical conduction and magnetism.
*Illustrative imagePhysical Properties of Artificial Nanomaterials
Using the artificial nanomaterials it fabricates as a platform, the lab explores new physical properties and controls electrical conduction and magnetism. It uses measurement techniques such as electrical conductivity, X-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility, magnetic force microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and neutron diffraction.
*Illustrative imageDomain Wall Motion and Domain Wall Motion Memory
In 2004, the lab became the first in the world to demonstrate that a domain wall can be moved by electric current. Aiming at applications to non-volatile memory based on domain wall motion, the lab is also clarifying the mechanism of domain wall motion in ferrimagnets.
*Illustrative imageTerahertz Spintronics
Focusing on antiferromagnets, whose resonance frequencies reach the terahertz range, the lab investigates the conversion of antiferromagnetic magnetization dynamics in nickel oxide into spin current, aiming at new terahertz spintronic devices.
*Illustrative imageSpin Waves in Synthetic Antiferromagnets
Aiming at magnonics, which uses spin waves as an information carrier, the lab has observed, in thin films of synthetic antiferromagnets, a larger nonreciprocity of spin waves than before, meaning that the resonance frequency differs depending on the direction of propagation.
