Development of magnetic materials and nanostructures by atomic scale control based on state-of-the-art thin film growth techniques. Searching and understanding new functionalities in spin transport and their application to spintronic devices. Major topics contain interface spin-orbit coupling and spin dependent tunneling in magnetic heterostructures.

Assigned university: Graduate School of Pure and Applied Sciences, University of Tsukuba
PhD: Materials Science and Engineering
MSc: Applied Physics

Focusing on special transport and thermoelectric effects derived from magnetism and spin, we fabricate and characterize magnetic thin film materials and multilayer nanostructures. In addition to the fundamental research, we are also conducting research for practical devices such as next-generation data storage, ultra-sensitive magnetic sensors, and novel thermoelectric power generation applications.

We carry out fundamental researches on magnetic recording with high areal density beyond 4 Tbit/in². For this areal density, new magnetic recording method with an assistance by the external energy such as heat, microwave magnetic field and light is required. To realize an effective magnetization switching, we are developing a new magnetic recording medium suitable for the energy assisted magnetic recording by the control of the microstructure and magnetization dynamics.

 NIMS offers the NIMS Graduate Research Assistantship to doctoral/master’s students who aspire to a career as researchers in materials science. The assistantship carries a monthly stipend to assist academically deserving students in fulfilling their academic goals. Those students appointed as NIMS Junior Researcher will enable to gain insight into their research career by “hands on” experience of working on latest research projects, without financial hardship.

 NIMS Internship program is open for undergraduate and graduate students attending courses at universities in and out of Japan, aiming to provide technical experience of cutting-edge research activities in the field of materials and science. If you would like to use the world’ s leading research equipment and facilities, take part in the research projects and the interactions with researchers from all over the world. For the maximum 90-day program, excellent students would be financially supported by NIMS.
