Tohoku University
Tohoku University is a Japanese National University, and principal five campuses are located in Sendai, Miyagi, Japan. It was founded in 1907, and is the third oldest Imperial University in Japan among the seven Imperial Universities. Since its establishment, the university’s principle has been to put "Research First", while maintaining an “Open-Door” policy to emphasize 'Practice-Oriented Research and Education’. Tohoku University continues to offer students a world-class education, and to succeed in conducting pioneering research in various fields especially on materials science, physics, chemistry, medicine, and engineering.
Tohoku University has always been in the forefront of spintronics research. Researchers in Tohoku University cover a wide range of research areas from fundamental physics on materials and condensed matters to technology of applications for practical devices and systems from the theoretical as well as experimental aspects. Tohoku University has the capability to design, synthesis, fabricate, and characterize the spintronics materials and devices, and integrate them with CMOS integrated circuits on 300 mm Si wafers. Several departments and institutes at Tohoku University are involved in the research. They include Graduate School of Science, Graduate School of Engineering, Institute for Materials Research, Research Institute of Electrical Communication, Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials, and Advanced Institute for Materials Research. Two centers, Center for Spintronics Integrated Systems and Center for Innovative Integrated Electronic Systems, are playing a leading role in the innovation of the integrated circuits with magnetic and spintronic devices. In 2014, Tohoku University founded Graduate Program in Spintronics and Spintronics Research and Education Promotion Office to promote spintronics not only from research activities but also from global education.
