Superconductivity Physics and Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that generates terahertz waves from single crystals of high-temperature superconductors.
AboutAbout the lab
From the fundamental properties of superconductors to their applications
The Superconductivity Physics and Engineering Lab conducts broad research on superconductors, from their fundamental properties to their applications.
Its current work centers on developing terahertz-wave devices that use single crystals of the high-temperature superconductor Bi2212.
The lab carries out this research in collaboration with the Minami Lab, which belongs to the same Materials Physics and Engineering major.
The lab invites anyone interested in device fabrication, crystal growth, materials synthesis, or measurement of fundamental properties to get in touch.
Key terms
- High-temperature superconductor
- A material that becomes superconducting at temperatures higher than was previously thought possible. This lab works with copper-oxide (cuprate) and iron-based materials.
- Terahertz waves
- Electromagnetic waves in the terahertz band. This lab has achieved oscillation at 0.3–2.4 THz.
- Single crystal
- A continuous crystal in which the atoms are arranged in a regular pattern throughout.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab develops terahertz-wave oscillators using single crystals of high-temperature superconductors. It also works on growing single crystals of superconducting materials and on applied research using terahertz waves.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of superconductor-based terahertz-wave oscillators
The lab develops terahertz oscillators that use single crystals of high-temperature superconductors. It has achieved oscillation at 0.3–2.4 THz with output on the order of tens of microwatts, and continues research and development toward higher output.
*Illustrative imageSingle-crystal growth of superconductors
The lab grows single crystals of recently discussed superconducting materials and related materials. It currently works on materials such as copper-oxide high-temperature superconductors and iron-based superconductors.
*Illustrative imageApplied research using terahertz waves
The lab uses electromagnetic waves in the terahertz band to develop imaging techniques for materials and to study their physical properties.
