Welcome to Kato Laboratory:
Our laboratory has
been studying magnetic multilayers and magnetic nanostructures for
high-density magnetic storage and functional spintronics devices.
In the field of magnetic storage media, we are studying
magnetic materials with high perpendicular anisotropy and nano-sized patterned structures
for the significant increase of the storage density. |

In the field of spintronics devices, we have been developing the efficient way of the magnetization switching utilizing spin current, electric field, Joule heating, etc. to realize non-volative and high-density magnetic random access memories (MRAMs). Moreover, magneto-resistance sensors to detect bio-magntetic field, strain, etc are studied to develop the functional sensor devices.
The developments of the high-density storage media, memory devices with a low power consumption, and functional sensor devices are required to realize the next-generation IoT (internet of Things) society, which is more convenient, safe, and secure than ever.
