Superconducting Materials Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that searches for new inorganic materials with superconducting and magnetic properties.

AboutAbout the lab
Seeking out and opening up the seeds of new materials
The Superconducting Materials Chemistry Lab searches for new inorganic materials with novel functions, focusing on solid-state oxides and similar compounds.
Through advanced materials synthesis, precise structural analysis, and property characterization, the lab varies crystal structures, chemical compositions, and crystal morphologies in many different ways.
By enhancing functions such as superconductivity, electronic properties, magnetism, and half-metallicity, and by exploring the underlying scientific principles, the lab aims to open up seeds for innovative new materials.
The lab is part of the Hokkaido University–NIMS Joint Graduate School Program and accepts doctoral students who conduct their research at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS).
Key terms
- Superconductivity
- A phenomenon in which electrical resistance drops to zero when a material is cooled below a certain temperature
- Half-metal
- A material that combines the properties of a metal and an insulator, conducting electricity for only one direction of electron spin
- Crystal structure
- The pattern in which atoms or ions are regularly arranged within a crystal
