The lab probes the behavior of electrons in solids through nuclear magnetic resonance.
AboutAbout the lab
Measuring the properties of solids in which electrons play the leading role.
The Electronic Properties Physics Lab studies the properties of solids in which electrons play the leading role, using experimental techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance.
Its research centers on magnetism and conduction related to "electron correlation," in which the Coulomb interaction between electrons has a strong effect.
The lab is divided into two groups, the Quantum Properties Group (formerly the Low-Temperature Properties Group) and the Electronic Properties Group, each carrying out experiments on its own themes.
Noting that even materials with the same chemical formula can change greatly in their properties under pressure, the lab also performs measurements under pressure.
Key terms
- Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
- A phenomenon in which atomic nuclei absorb radio waves in a magnetic field. It makes it possible to measure the magnetic state at very close range inside a material
- Electron correlation
- A situation in which the Coulomb force between electrons has such a strong effect that their behavior can no longer be explained by treating electrons one by one
- Heavy-fermion systems
- Metals in which electrons behave as if they had become very heavy. They show superconductivity or magnetic order at low temperatures
ResearchResearch themes
Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR), the lab investigates the magnetism and superconductivity that materials show at low temperatures. It also carries out measurements under applied pressure.
*Illustrative imageElectron-Doped Cuprate High-Temperature Superconductors
By applying NMR to electron-doped high-temperature superconductors with the T' structure, the lab aims to determine whether their ground state is superconductivity that requires no doping or a doped Mott insulator.
*Illustrative imageMagnetic Transitions in a Heavy-Fermion Superconductor
The lab carried out NQR measurements on the heavy-fermion superconductor Ce3PtIn11 and succeeded in narrowing down the candidate magnetic structures for its two-step antiferromagnetic transition.
*Illustrative imageMagnetic Phases of α-Mn Induced by Pressure
Under pressure, α-Mn changes from an antiferromagnetic state to a different magnetic phase. Zero-field NMR detected an abrupt decrease in the internal magnetic field, showing that this transition is a first-order phase transition.
*Illustrative imageQuantum Spin Systems and Transition Metal Oxides
The Electronic Properties Group uses nuclear magnetic resonance to study the properties of quantum spin systems, the electronic states of transition metal oxides, ionic liquids, and more.
