Antiferromagnetic Spintronics

Atsufumi Hirohata is a Professor in Nanoelectronics at the University of York, United Kingdom. His area of research covers spintronics and quantum nanoelectronics, with recent focus on the fabrication of a spin operator and nano-spin motor as well as growth of a half-metallic film. Rie Umetsu is a Professor in the Cooperative Research and Development Center for Advanced Materials at Tohoku University, Japan. Her research interests lie in half-metallic magnetic materials, ferromagnetic shape memory alloys, Mn-based antiferromagnetic materials, and large magnetostrictive materials. Peter Fischer is Senior Scientist and Principal Investigator in the Non-Equilibrium Magnetic Materials Program in the Material Sciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, United States. His research program is focused on the use of polarized synchrotron radiation for the study of fundamental problems in magnetism.
