Terunobu Miyazaki

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Terunobu Miyazaki ( Japanese 宮 崎 照 宣 , Miyazaki Terunobu ; born June 15, 1943 in Saitama Prefecture , Japan ) is a Japanese physicist who deals with solid-state physics.

Miyazaki studied applied physics at Tōhoku University , where he received his master’s degree in 1969 and his doctorate in 1972. From 1973 to 1975 he was a Humboldt fellow at the University of Regensburg . From 1991 until his retirement in 2007 he was a professor at Tōhoku University. Since 2007 he has been a professor at the WPI Advanced Institute for Materials Research at Tōhoku University.

Miyazaki discovered in 1991 that the TMR effect ( tunneling magneto-resistance ) (discovered in 1975 but later almost forgotten ) can also be realized at room temperature, and in 1994 his group found a giant TMR effect . He deals with magnetic materials, especially new materials for spintronics .

In 2009 he received the Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize with Jagadeesh Moodera , Paul Tedrow and Robert Meservey (all three from MIT) for their pioneering work in spintronics . He received the Magnetic Society of Japan (MSJ) Prize in 2003, the Science and Technology Prize of the Japanese Minister of Education, Culture, Sports and Technology in 2006 , the Asahi Prize in 2008 , the Yamazaki Teiichi Prize in 2005, and the Yazaki Prize in 2003 -Art and Science Award. In 2018 he received the NIMS Award from the National Institute for Materials Science .

Together with Jin Hanmin, he published the textbook The Physics of Ferromagnetism in 2012 .
