Albert Fert is Emeritus Professor at Université Paris-Sud and Scientific Director at the UMR CNRS/Thales laboratory he co-founded in 1995.

In 2007, Albert Fert and Peter Gruenberg received the Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery of the Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) in 1988. The GMR has led to important applications and, for example, has led to an increase of the capacity of information storage in the magnetic hard disks by a factor of about thousand. In addition, the discovery of GMR kicked off the development of a new type of electronics exploiting the spin of the electrons and called spintronic. Significant contributions to this development came from Fert’s team.

In the recent years, Albert Fert has been one of the pioneers of the research in the new field of the magnetic skyrmions. His research today is mainly on skyrmions and on spintronic phenomena exploiting topology and spin-orbit interactions in low dimension systems (from topological insulators to Rashba bi-dimensional electron gas).

After getting Ph. D. at Department of Physics, Keio University, Japan, YN moved to Kyushu University in 1998, where YN studied micromagnetics and magnetization dynamics of deep submicron scale ferromagnets under an application of strong microwave field until 2009. This technology has been widely developed for mirowave-assisted magnetic recording which will be commercialized within a few years. In 2010, YN established the group of Physics on Ferromagnetism and Spintronics at Keio University, where nonlinear and non-equilibrium spin transport and spin dynamics are mainly studied in micro-fabricated ferromagnets and those hybrid materials. Recently, YN has focus on the physics of the interconversion between macroscopic local angular momentum in solid, i.e. vorticity, and microscopic angular momentum in electrons, i.e. spin and orbital angular momentum. YN has experimentally demonstrated that a flow of spin angular momentum, i.e. spin current, can be generated using a vorticity of elliptical lattice motion in surface acoustic wave. Moreover, vorticity of electric current owing to a graded electric conductivity in partially oxidized copper film can be utilized to generate spin current. These findings improve the degree of freedom in material design of spintronics devices because we can generate the spin current without using specific materials having strong spin orbit interaction.
