Spin conversion is a generic term for all the conversion phenomena based on
the principle of angular momentum conservation, including recently discovered
phenomena, i.e. the spin Hall effect, the inverse spin Hall effect, the spin
Seebeck effect, the spin Peltier effect, the pure spin current induced
magnetic switching, the spin injection into insulators, the electric field
controlled magnetic anisotropy in ultra-thin ferromagnetic films, and so on.
Most of the above mentioned spin conversion phenomena take place at simple
nano-scale interfaces between two different materials of magnets, non-magnets,
semiconductors, or insulators. So that spin conversion phenomena are versatile
for designing device functionalities in spintronic applications. In this
seminar we will show some of our efforts to realize new spin conversion
properties by exploiting magnetic dilute alloys, superconductors, metal/oxide
interfaces, and surface states of topological insulators
