Nishibori Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab uses synchrotron X-rays to observe the arrangement of atoms and molecules and explores how it relates to function.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the structure of matter with advanced high-energy light sources.
Nishibori Lab studies the structure of matter using advanced high-energy light sources such as synchrotron radiation.
The functions and properties of materials are closely tied to how atoms and molecules are arranged. Based on X-ray structure analysis, the lab studies this relationship in fields such as structural condensed matter physics and structural biology.
The lab is also developing measurement methods using diffractometers at the large synchrotron radiation facility SPring-8, as well as the maximum entropy method, which visualizes charge density distributions from diffraction data.
The lab belongs to the Tsukuba Research Center for Energy Materials Science (TREMS) at the University of Tsukuba.
Key terms
- Synchrotron radiation
- Extremely bright light such as X-rays, produced at large accelerator facilities. It is used to investigate the structure of matter in detail
- Maximum entropy method
- A computational method that visualizes the distribution of charge (electron) density inside a material from X-ray diffraction data. Abbreviated as MEM
- Genetic algorithm
- A method that determines the structure of a material by repeated trial and error on a computer. Abbreviated as GA
