Spintronics is research field in which magnetic degree of freedom in electronics is studied for developing new devices with low energy consumption and new functionalities. Magnetic random-access memory is a major application in spintronics, where nano-magnets are used to store information without power supply. The devices using nano-magnets have many advantages such as faster operation, high endurance, and high-density recording. In the talk, the presenter will introduce how spintronics has been used in applications so far and what next-generation interdisciplinary applications of spintronics are.
