ABOUT US
The Research Center for Magnetic and Spintronic Materials (CMSM) conducts a wide range of research—from foundational studies to innovative new methodologies—focused on advancing the science and technology of magnetic and spintronic materials. Magnetic materials and spintronic devices play a key role in realizing a sustainable society.
Examples include permanent magnets used in motors and electric vehicles, as well as recording media and magnetoresistive devices in the field of information and communications technology (ICT). Our recent efforts extend to emerging fields such as spin-caloritronics and optomagnetism. Our mission is to pioneer both basic and applied research that enables energy-efficient devices, advanced data storage, and non-volatile memory solutions, contributing to the realization of a super-smart, sustainable society.
Research Center for Magnetic and Spintronic Materials (CMSM) comprises of;
NIMS Graduate Program
NIMS has collaborative agreements with several universities, in terms of providing research and training opportunities to postgraduate students. Based on the agreements, NIMS researchers supervise those university postgraduate students towards obtaining degrees. Many of our program alumni with degrees awarded by the universities have their careers in materials science.

For the first time in the world, a research team led by Dr. Hirai and Dr. K. Uchida has successfully observed the transverse Thomson effect—a phenomenon in which metals or semiconductors release or absorb heat when a heat current, charge current and magnetic field are applied orthogonally to each other.
