The lab grows crystals that exhibit quantum properties and studies how electricity and heat flow through them.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering quantum phenomena in solids through experiments
The Hirschberger Lab experimentally studies quantum mechanical phenomena that emerge in solids.
The lab grows its own crystals of materials in which quantum mechanical effects appear clearly, and investigates in particular how electricity and heat flow through them (transport properties).
The lab uses neutron and X-ray scattering experiments at facilities in Japan and abroad, measurements under strong magnetic fields and at extremely low temperatures, and device fabrication with focused ion beams.
Key terms
- transport properties
- How electricity and heat flow through a material, such as electrical resistance and thermal conductivity
- kagome lattice
- An atomic arrangement in which triangles and hexagons alternate, resembling the weave of a bamboo basket
- superconductivity
- A phenomenon in which a material's electrical resistance drops to zero when it is cooled below a certain temperature

ResearchResearch themes
Focusing on quantum mechanical phenomena that emerge in solids, the lab grows crystals of materials in which these effects appear clearly. Through ultra-high-resolution measurements of electrical and thermal transport, as well as neutron and X-ray scattering experiments, it reveals their properties.
*Illustrative imageP-wave Magnets and New Functions
The lab studies magnets in which the spins are arranged in a spiral and the electronic states split in a "p-wave" pattern (p-wave magnets), as well as the new functions that arise from them. It has also reported metallic p-wave magnets.
*Illustrative imageElectric Fields Generated by Moving Magnetic Textures
The lab investigates the "emergent electric field" that arises when magnetic textures move. In collaboration with RIKEN and others, it has demonstrated that in a Weyl magnet, an electric field is generated when a domain wall slides.
*Illustrative imageNew Kagome Lattice Materials
The lab searches for new materials in which atoms are arranged in a kagome lattice, a pattern combining triangles and hexagons. It has also reported a phenomenon in which the crystal distorts in stages in a kagome metal.
*Illustrative imageSuperconductivity in Oxides
The lab offers projects on superconductivity in oxides (compounds containing oxygen) that students and postdoctoral researchers can work on.
