Introduction of Spin Current opens a New Perspective to Magnetic Phenomena
A Wise Saying (!?) by Yehoshua Ah? What is spin current? Whydo we need to think about spin current? OK, then, I will go to a market. and I will buy a banana current! Spin current is not that stupid thing to think about…

electrical manipulation of magnetization relaxation conventionally, difficult to achieve after once material species, temperature, and pressure are given this scheme is applicable for spin-current meter
Main Points to Remember Spin current introduces new perspectives to magnetic phenomena which harness the duality of electricity and magnetism. They realized electric manipulation of magnetization relaxation, which can be also applied to spin-current meter.
