AboutAbout the lab
Seeing electrons and spins directly
The Sakano Lab directly observes the electronic and spin states of materials in which quantum mechanical effects appear prominently, aiming to understand and open up new physical properties.
Its targets are bulk and nanoscale materials, such as topological materials and artificially stacked two-dimensional crystals.
In addition to receiving samples from collaborators in Japan and abroad, the lab also works on fabricating samples of stacked two-dimensional crystals itself.
The lab carries out joint research using large shared-use facilities such as NanoTerasu and the Photon Factory at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK).
