The lab explores nano-magnetic and spintronic materials, starting from thin-film fabrication.
AboutAbout the lab
Creating new nanomaterials with thin films and magnetism
The Surface and Interface Physics Lab (Shiratsuchi Lab) conducts research on "nano-magnetic and spintronic materials," with thin films and magnetism as its keywords.
Building on high-quality thin-film fabrication as its core technology, the lab studies new nanomaterials for next-generation electronic devices, such as memory, storage devices, and computing elements.
The lab also conducts magnetic measurement experiments using soft X-rays at SPring-8, a large synchrotron radiation facility.
Key terms
- Spintronics
- A field that uses not only the charge of electrons but also their magnetic properties in combination
- Thin films
- A material made in the form of an extremely thin film. In this lab, fabricating high-quality thin films is the core technology
- SPring-8
- A large synchrotron radiation facility. The lab conducts magnetic measurement experiments here using soft X-rays
