Welcome to the homepage for the Kawakami group at UC Riverside.  Our research focuses on spintronics and graphene as well as novel magnetic structures and nanomagnetism.  We have developed experimental techniques for synthesizing novel materials with atomic precision, for probing spin and magnetization dynamics with sub-picosecond resolution, and for investigating spin transport in nanoscale devices. Current research projects include spin transport in graphene, the incorporation of magnetic oxides into semiconductor spintronics, and electrical control of the magnetic exchange interaction.
