Scope

Continually expanding frontiers

For a relatively modern concept in the long history of fundamental and applied physics, spintronics has shown a remarkable longevity as an active field of research. The single keyword "spin" has been connecting many branches of condensed matter physics including electron transport in metals and semiconductors, magnetic resonances, thermoelectric phenomena, mechanics, optics, superconductivity, and ferroelectrics. In this workshop, we aim to review this evolution by threading the history of one of its perpetual contributors, on the occasion of his 70th birthday. This will highlight where the progress has been made and put forward possible directions for further development and opportunities.

The half-day workshop will be held in the afternoon of the 20th March 2026 in the Advanced Science Research Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency. There will be two sessions of four talks split by a coffee break. The workshop is sponsored by JSPS KAKENHI Grant No. 24K00576 and the REIMEI Research Program of Japan Atomic Energy Agency.
