Macroscopic Quantum Properties Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores novel quantum properties of matter through materials synthesis.
AboutAbout the lab
Aiming to discover novel macroscopic quantum properties
The Macroscopic Quantum Properties Lab explores the physics of strongly correlated electron systems, including magnetism, superconductivity, and topological phases, through comprehensive research built on materials synthesis.
In strongly correlated electron systems, quantum orders characterized by phenomena such as symmetry breaking often emerge, and quantum effects appear on a macroscopic scale. Superconductivity, spin liquids, and the quantum Hall effect are representative examples.
The lab grows high-quality samples of transition metal compounds such as oxides, nitrides, chalcogenides, and pnictides, and measures their electrical, magnetic, thermal, and optical properties.
Each student is given their own research topic and carries out experiments from crystal growth through property measurement to data analysis.
Key terms
- Strongly correlated electron systems
- Material systems in which strong interactions between electrons give rise to distinctive properties such as superconductivity and magnetism
- Chalcogenides
- Compounds in which a metal is bonded with an element such as sulfur, selenium, or tellurium
- Ultra-high-pressure synthesis
- A method of creating new materials by applying extremely high pressure
- Resonant X-ray scattering
- A method of probing the electronic state of a material by directing X-rays tuned to the wavelength of a specific element at it
