By active use of not only charge transport of electrons and holes but also their spin, we can create a variety of functional materials and new phenomena. It is highly expected that these new materials and phenomena will be applied to the development of next-generation electronics and information technology. This field, called spintronics, is emerging and rapidly making progress in many subfields. In this project, we focus on one of the most important materials, ferromagnetic semiconductors (FMSs), which have the properties of both ferromagnets and semiconductors, and their applications. By solving the problems of FMSs, we explore their applications to non-volatile memory, spin-based transistors, and quantum and topological devices, which will be used for future information technology.
