Magnon currents for future spintronic applicationswithin the JSPS Core-to-Core Joint International Research and Collaborative Center New Concept spintronic devices; here: funding for transfer of knowledge and exchange actions between Sendai, York and Kais

这项提案要求凯泽斯劳滕大学参与三国核心对核心联合国际研究与合作中心新概念自旋电子器件(简称：中心)的联网费用。该合作包括来自日本仙台东北大学(由Hideo Ohno教授领导)、英国约克大学(由教授领导)的小组。Kevin Ogrady和Atsufumi Hiroata)，以及凯泽斯劳滕磁性小组。该中心的目标是加强现有的科学合作。该中心组织讲习班，并支持伙伴机构初级和高级工作人员的访问。初级工作人员将对伙伴机构进行较长时间的访问(3至6个月)，而高级工作人员将对伙伴进行短期访问(1至2周)。通过这种方式，约克、仙台和凯泽斯劳滕在该中心的长期合作关系将得到显著扩展，远远超过这个核心到核心项目的完成。资助计划由日本科学促进会(JSPS)与德国科学促进会(DFG)和英国工程和物理科学研究理事会(EPSRC)合作发起(见DFG和JSPS之间的谅解备忘录，附件2)。在日本方面，该中心已在竞争激烈的核心到核心计划中获得批准。EPSRC随后为英国合作伙伴提供了一笔赠款。对于Kaiserslautern申请者，研究资金通过四项资助的研究倡议提供(见附件1)。这些项目涵盖了所有研究费用，但无法支付中心额外的网络和研讨会费用。申请的资金将用于凯泽斯劳滕的两个讲习班，以及凯泽斯劳滕交流方案中初级和高级工作人员的旅费。本中心的研究旨在提高MRAM的效率，并将其与自旋极化晶体管相结合，用于自旋电子存储器和逻辑在同一芯片上。具体地说，该中心计划解决四个关键组件，即MRAM、自旋晶体管、计算和新概念。高频磁特性扮演着重要的角色，凯泽斯劳滕团队将专门解决这一问题。所有伙伴都认为，获得其他伙伴研究所的专业知识和设施极其重要，因此，遵循一个理想的战略，在芯片上实现自旋电子存储逻辑方面取得更大进展是极其重要的。在中心主要目标的同时，凯泽斯劳滕小组将评估使用磁子作为信息载体的潜力。磁子是自旋波的量子。这有助于实现以电子为基础的自旋电子学和cmos技术对接的总体中心目标。

This proposal asks for the networking costs for the the University of Kaiserslautern to participate in the tri-national Core-to-Core Joint International Research and Collaborative Center New Concept Spintronic Devices (in short: Center). This collaboration includes groups from the Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan (led by Prof. Hideo Ohno), University of York, Great Britain (led by Profs. Kevin OGrady and Atsufumi Hiroata), and the Kaiserslautern magnetism group. The Center aim is to strengthen existing scientific collaborations. The Center organizes workshops, and supports visits for junior and senior level staff members at the partner institutions. Junior staff members will visit the partner institutions for a longer stays (3 to 6 months) while senior staff members will visit the partners for short visits (1-2 weeks). In this way the long standing relationships between York, Sendai and Kaiserslautern in the Center will be expanded signficantly to endure far beyond the completion of this Core-to-Core project.The funding scheme has been initiated by the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) in collaboration with the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), UK (see Memorandum of Understanding between DFG and JSPS, Annex 2). On the Japanese side, the Center has been approved in the highly competitive core-to-core program. EPSRC followed with a grant for the British partner. For the Kaiserslautern applicants funding for research is available via four funded research initiatives (see Annex 1). These projects cover all research costs, however they are not able to cover the additional networking and workshop costs of the Center. The requested funding will be used for two workshops in Kaiserslautern, as well as the travel of Kaiserslautern junior and senior staff members in the exchange program. This Center research aims to improve the efficiency of MRAM and to combine it with a spin-polarized transistor for spintronic memory and logic on a common chip. Specifically, the Center plans to address four key components, which are MRAM, spin transistor, calculations, and novel concepts. High-frequency magnetic properties play an important role and will be addressed specifically by the Kaiserslautern team. All partners consider it extremely important to gain access to the expertise and facilities at the other partner institutes, and thus, following an ideal strategy to make enhanced progress towards a spintronic memory logic on a chip. In parallel to the Centers major aims the Kaiserslautern group will evaluate the potential of information processing using magnons, the quanta of spin waves, as information carriers. This contributes to the overarching Center objective of interfacing electron-based spintronics and CMOS technology.
