A research field that investigates materials using quantum beams such as synchrotron radiation and neutrons.

AboutAbout the lab
Looking inside materials with quantum beams.
The Synchrotron Radiation Materials Engineering Lab is a research field that measures materials using quantum beams such as synchrotron radiation and neutrons.
Professor Kenta Amemiya, Professor Reiji Kumai, and Professor Tetsuya Yokoo are the main faculty members in charge.
Research on surface and interface observation, the structure and properties of solids, and quantum spins studied with neutrons is introduced for each faculty member.
All of the faculty members are introduced as professors of the Cooperative Graduate School (KEK).
Key terms
- Synchrotron radiation
- Light produced by a device called a synchrotron. It is used in measurements that investigate the structure and state of materials.
- Operando observation
- Observing a device or material in situ while it is operating.
- Neutron scattering
- A method that directs neutrons at a material and investigates the motion of spins and the lattice from how the neutrons scatter.
ResearchResearch themes
This field uses quantum beams such as synchrotron radiation and neutrons to investigate how material properties arise, from the structure of a material's surface to its interior. The research of Professor Kenta Amemiya, Professor Reiji Kumai, and Professor Tetsuya Yokoo is introduced here.
*Illustrative imageIn situ observation of surfaces and interfaces during operation
Using quantum beams, the lab observes surfaces and interfaces in situ while they are operating, to clarify how their functions emerge. This is the research of Professor Kenta Amemiya, who advances operando observation of surfaces and interfaces.
*Illustrative imageLinking the structure and properties of solids with synchrotron radiation
Using quantum beams, including synchrotron radiation, the lab clarifies how macroscopic properties originate from the microscopic structure inside solids. This is the research of Professor Reiji Kumai.
*Illustrative imageExploring quantum spin dynamics with neutron scattering
The lab investigates the quantum dynamics of spins and the lattice in high-temperature superconductors and low-dimensional quantum spin systems. Mainly using neutron scattering, and also carrying out crystal growth and its characterization as well as measurements of thermodynamic quantities, it aims to clarify the underlying mechanisms.
