Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores the solid-state properties of rare-earth and actinide compounds.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring properties created by f electrons through crystals and high pressure.
Professor Fuminori Honda studies the solid-state properties of compounds containing rare-earth elements and actinides.
The f electrons in these elements give rise to diverse properties such as magnetism and superconductivity.
By combining techniques for growing high-quality crystals with techniques for applying high pressure, the lab advances the synthesis of new materials and the exploration of their properties.
As a faculty member of the Center for Integrated Isotope Safety Management, he is also in charge of the safety management of radiation and nuclear fuel materials across the university.
Key terms
- Actinides
- A group of heavy elements in the lower rows of the periodic table, including uranium. They have f electrons
- f electrons
- Electrons found in rare-earth and actinide elements. They are the basis of diverse properties such as magnetism and superconductivity
- Strongly correlated electron systems
- Material systems in which electrons strongly influence one another, giving rise to properties different from those of ordinary metals
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates the diverse properties of rare-earth and actinide compounds from the standpoint of solid-state physics. By combining the growth of high-quality crystals with the generation of high pressure, it explores new materials and properties while controlling interactions.
*Illustrative imageProperties of rare-earth and actinide compounds
The lab investigates properties shown by rare-earth and actinide compounds containing f electrons, such as magnetism, superconductivity, heavy fermions, multipole order, and skyrmion states. Recently, it has focused on the unusual properties of strongly correlated f electrons in special crystal structures.
*Illustrative imageExploring the electronic states of Eu and U compounds
The lab is engaged in international collaborative research exploring the electronic states of europium (Eu) compounds and uranium (U) compounds. It studies strongly correlated electron systems from the standpoint of solid-state physics.
