AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the origins of material properties from crystal structure
The Structural Materials Physics Division (Sato Lab) uses quantum beams (X-rays, synchrotron radiation, and neutrons) to study the structural origins of new properties exhibited by various functional materials.
Focusing on crystals that exhibit new magnetism, ferroelectricity, superconductivity, and more, the lab has clarified the principles of macroscopic phenomena by observing microscopic structures.
Beyond measuring existing materials with existing instruments, the lab also develops measurement techniques and instruments and searches for new materials using ultra-high-pressure synthesis.
The lab also belongs to the Spectroscopic Physics Division of the Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science.
Key terms
- Quantum beam
- Beams such as X-rays, synchrotron radiation, and neutrons, used to observe the internal structure of materials.
- Ferroelectricity
- A property in which a material has an electric polarization whose direction can be reversed by an electric field.
- Ultra-high-pressure synthesis
- A method of making materials by applying extremely high pressure. It is used to search for new materials.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab uses a combination of quantum beams (X-rays, synchrotron radiation, and neutrons) to study the structural origins of new properties exhibited by various functional materials. By observing the microscopic structure of materials, it has clarified the principles of macroscopic phenomena.
