The lab explores new quantum phenomena hidden in matter under extremely strong magnetic fields.
AboutAbout the lab
Searching for new quantum phenomena in world-class high magnetic fields
Miyata Lab uses extremely strong magnetic fields to study new quantum phenomena and properties in materials.
The lab develops nondestructive pulse magnets and also creates new methods for measuring material properties in pulsed magnetic fields.
Using magneto-optical spectroscopy, which probes material properties with light, the lab investigates excitons and other phenomena in van der Waals materials.
The lab also conducts research in magnetic fields exceeding 100 T, a regime unmatched anywhere else in the world.
Key terms
- Nondestructive pulse magnet
- An electromagnet that produces a strong magnetic field for only a very short time and can be used repeatedly without destroying its coil
- Exciton
- A pair formed inside a material by an electron excited by light and the hole it leaves behind, which move together
- Van der Waals material
- A material made of atomically thin layers stacked together by weak forces. Many of them can be peeled apart one layer at a time

ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to discover new quantum phenomena and material properties, and to clarify their mechanisms, using some of the strongest magnetic fields in the world. It pursues this work end to end, from developing nondestructive pulse magnets, to creating new measurement methods under pulsed magnetic fields, to measuring material properties in high magnetic fields.
*Illustrative imageMagneto-Spectroscopy and Electrical Transport in High Magnetic Fields
The lab is advancing terahertz spectroscopy in pulsed magnetic fields using quantum cascade lasers, and improving the sensitivity of magneto-optical spectroscopy for small samples such as atomically thin films. It aims to clarify the unusual excitons in van der Waals materials and to control the coupling between excitons and magnons with magnetic fields. It also investigates electronic states in the quantum limit through electrical transport measurements on samples fabricated with a focused ion beam.
*Illustrative imageMaterial Properties in Ultra-High Magnetic Fields Exceeding 100 T
The lab measures material properties under ultra-high magnetic fields in the megagauss range, above 100 T, and searches for new quantum phenomena that appear for the first time in such extreme environments.
