Materials & Devices Research Topics
Quantum computing devices
Explanation
This research programme is aimed at developing quantum information devices based on our original EIT in solids and our proposed frequency-domain quantum computer with quantum optical methods using lasers and optical cavities.
Knowledge and Skills required
Candidates should possess expertise in solid state physics, material science, and thin film physics.
Microwave frequency spin-torque oscillator technology
Explanation
This programme develops spin-torque nano-oscillators composed of magnetic multilayers. Microwave- frequency oscillations of magnetization are induced by the spin momentum transfer under the dc electric current. Experiments concerning the oscillation phenomena and analyses by theories and micromagnetic simulations are under development. The study is related to the sessions of intensive studies at INTERMAG and MMM conferences.
Knowledge and Skills required
Candidates should have in-depth knowledge of magnetic materials, the magneto-resistance effect, and the spin-torque effect.
Novel nano-devices fabricated by self-organization processes
Explanation
The goal of this programme is to realize novel nano-devices using combinations of the top-down and bottom-up nano-fabrication techniques that Toshiba possesses, including 10 nm-scale fabrication using self-assembled materials and photo- and/or electron-beam lithography, in order to investigate nano-scale effects.
Knowledge and Skills required
Candidates should be capable of designing nano-materials or nano-devices, and concepts for novel nano-devices are welcome. Knowledge of material physics, electronic physics or physical chemistry is required as well as an interest in nano-technology.
