- Additional information
- This publication reports a new phenomenon to generate spin angular momentum by an electric current. It originates from the quantum-mechanical geometrical effect called the Berry curvature. This has potential to be used future for low-loss electronic devices such as spin random access memories (RAM) which has been actively commercialised by spin-out companies (such as EVERSPIN) and electronic giants (such as IBM and Samsung). It has been cited by 270 journal papers and the press release based on this publication was covered by a number of media. Kurebayashi delivered 10 invited talks in major international conferences (and more by his collaborations).
