| Research Abstract |
1.We studied the nonlocal spin transport in a device consisting of a nonmagnetic metal (N) and ferromagnetic injector and detector electrodes connected to N. We solve the spin-dependent transport equations in a device with arbitrary interface resistance, and obtain the optimal conditions for efficient spin injection, accumulation, and spin transport in the device. We proposed a nonlocal spin manipulation by using the nonlocal spin-current injection technique.
2.We studied the nonlocal Andreev reflection in a device consisting of two ferromagnetic wires attached to a superconductor, and clarified the range over which the crossed Andreev reflection takes place.
3.We proposed a new superconducting qubit which consists of a superconducting ring with ferromagnetic junctions and an ordinary Josephson junction. A quantum coherent two-level state is formed without an external magnetic field. This feature makes it possible to reduce the size leading to a long decoherence time.
4.We studied the electronic structure of a magnetic impurity and the ferromagnetic interaction between magnetic impurities in a semiconductor using the Haldane-Anderson model, and obtain a long-range ferromagnetic exchange interaction between the localized moments due to the overlapping of the extended spin densities around the impurities.
5.We proposed a method for estimating the strength of spin-orbit scattering by impurities in non-magnetic metals. We show that the pure spin current created by the nonlocal spin-injection technique produces a nonlocal Hall voltage, which is measurable by experiments.
6.We constructed a microscopic theory describing the interaction between spin current and a domain wall, and presented new equations of motion for domain walls. We proposed nano-structured magnetic memories utilizing the current-driven domain wall motion.
