PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inhibit a decrease in the polarization degree of a spin-polarized material to enable the efficient use of the spin-polarized material and facilitate its handle. PSOLUTION: This spin-polarized capsule comprising a solid spin-polarized material 11 and a non-polar capsule portion 21 receiving the spin-polarized material 11, wherein the capsule portion 21 has a ventilation hole 22 for ventilating the capsule portion 21 between its inner and outer sides. Since the solid spin-polarized material 11 is received in the non-polar capsule portion 21 to inhibit the transfer of heat from the outside to the spin-polarized material 11, a decrease in the polarization degree accompanying the time passage of the spin-polarized material 11 can be prevented to facilitate the handling of the spin-polarized capsule.
