Abstract: Spintronics involves all the interactions of spins with photons, phonons and spins in nature, which gives rise more freedom to control device-performance. Recently, much attention has been paid to a spin-transfer-torque phenomenon, which likely promises a breakthrough for future digital electronics systems. Other interesting subjects may be in spin-photon interactions, which likely promise novel digital electro-photonic devices.
The talk will review the present status of all the digital information technologies in comparison, and then focus on future hybrid spintronics science and technology.
报告人简介：
Dr. Takao Suzuki received a B.S. and M.S. from Waseda University in Tokyo in 1962 and 1964, respectively. He received a Ph.D. degree from Department of Electrical Engineering, California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California, U.S.A. in 1969, being under a Fulbright-graduate student-fellowship. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Max-Planck Institute in Stuttgart, Germany from 1969 through 1972 and was an assistant and associate professor at Tohoku University from 1972 to 1974 and through 1988, respectively, where his research interests included magnetic multi-layers with high magnetic anisotropy for magneto-optical recording, and magnetic recording applications.
From 1988 through 1995, Dr. Suzuki worked as a research staff member at the IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California, where he was involved with high density magneto-optical and magnetic recording materials developments. In 1995, he joined the Toyota Technological Institute in Nagoya, Japan as a principal professor, while being on academic-leave of absence until 2000 when he retired from IBM. Dr. Suzuki is now Vice President and a principle professor of the Institute, and also Director of the Academic Frontier Center sponsored by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture. He is also a member of the Board of Directors for the Toyota School Foundation.
His current research interest includes magnetic anisotropy of various ordered alloy thin films and nano-particles, in conjunction with structure and also high density perpendicular magnetic recording media applications. He has published more than 290 scientific papers and has written 4 books. In addition, he holds 17 patents.
