研究内容 Research

従来のエレクトロニクスでは、チャージ（電荷）の制御により情報処理が行われてきました。これに対してスピントロニクスは、チャージだけでなくスピン（磁性）を制御することにより情報処理を行っていくものです。半導体を用いる代表的なスピントロニクス素子は、InAs・InGaAs・InSb・InGaSb など大きなスピン軌道結合を有する半導体ナローチャネルと強磁性体金属電極からなるスピン電界効果トランジスタです。本研究室では、このスピン電界効果トランジスタに着目し、その構成要素となる半導体ナノワイヤ構造および半導体-強磁性体複合構造に関する実験的研究を行っています。

The information technology supported by the electronics is based on controlling electric charge. The spintronics is controlling not only electric charge but also spin direction for the future information technology. The most typical spintronic device using a semiconductor (SC) is spin field-effect transistor (spin-FET), which consists of a SC narrow channel having large spin-orbit coupling (InAs, InGaAs, InSb, InGaSb etc.) and ferromagnetic metal (FM) electrodes. According to the background, we investigate SC nanowire structures and SC-FM hybrid structures for spintronic applications.

We grow semiconductor nanowire structures and semiconductor-ferromagnetic metal hybrid structures using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and electrochemical deposition (ECD). 

ナノデバイス作製 Nanodevice fabrication

電子線リソグラフィー(EBL)装置や電界電離型ガスイオン源集束イオンビーム(GFIS-FIB)装置を使って、成長した試料をマイクロメートル(μm)からナノメートル(nm)のサイズの微細加工することでナノデバイスを作製しています。
We fabricate various nanodevices from the grown samples using electron beam lithography (EBL) and gas field ion source focused ion beam (GFIS-FIB).

ナノデバイス測定 Nanodevice characterization

超伝導マグネットやロックインアンプを使って、極低温(~1.5K)・強磁場(~8T)で作製したナノデバイスを電気的に測定しています。そして、測定結果を解析し、その中での電子やスピンの振舞について知見を得ています。
