We are conducting research on “spin caloritronics” based on the fusion of spintronics and thermoelectric/thermal transport properties. We are developing new thermal energy conversion, control, and transfer phenomena and functionalities driven by the concerted effects of electron transport, magnetism (spin), phonon, ferroelectricity, etc., and materials science to improve their energy conversion efficiency by introducing technologies and knowledge from interdisciplinary fields beyond the conventional framework of spintronics. We aim to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by breaking new ground in spin caloritronics using our uniquely developed active thermal measurement and hybrid/composite material synthesis techniques as well as by bringing it to fruition in thermal management technologies.
