KINKEN WAKATE 2015 “Spintronics & Spin Current”
On September 24-25, Kinken Wakate “Lectures on Spintronics & Spin Current” was held in Sendai as a collaborative activity by ERATO-SQR, Nano Spin Conversion Science, and ICC-IMR. The aim of this program is providing young researchers with cutting-edge reviews of various aspects of spin science and encouraging them to challenge the frontier of this research field.
Spintronics and spin-current are the novel scientific concepts emerging from notable developments of nanotechnology during past two decades. The use of spin and flow of spin are now at the stage of seeking commercial applications and GMR, TMR, and MRAM are spectacular success of such challenges. The aim of this series of lectures is encouraging young researchers to challenge the frontier of spin science and to network with each other for their future collaborations. As a result, about 100 young distinguished researchers and students attended this program and vigorous discussions were exchanged among participants throughout the event. We believe thus established spin science community contributes to the future development of this field of research.
