A lab that experimentally investigates the properties of materials, centered on superconductivity and magnetism.
AboutAbout the lab
Experimental studies of superconductivity and magnetism.
The Jin Nakamura Lab is a condensed matter physics lab that experimentally investigates the properties of materials, focusing on superconductivity and magnetism.
The lab studies superconductivity and magnetism realized by implanting various elements and molecules into diamond and graphite.
The lab experimentally covers everything from sample preparation to structural and physical-property characterization, and uses external research institutions such as synchrotron radiation facilities to observe electronic states.
The lab also studies intermetallic compounds in which localized 4f electrons and itinerant 3d electrons coexist and both contribute to magnetism, and magnetic materials using Mössbauer spectroscopy with unstable nuclei as probes.
Key terms
- Graphite intercalation compound

ResearchResearch themes
The lab experimentally investigates superconductivity and magnetism that emerge when elements or molecules are implanted into diamond and graphite, from sample preparation to structural and physical-property characterization. To observe electronic states, it also uses external research institutions such as synchrotron radiation facilities.
*Illustrative imageMagnetism with competing itinerant and localized electrons
Some compounds containing rare-earth and transition metal elements have magnetism to which both itinerant d electrons and highly localized f electrons contribute. Many phenomena remain unresolved, and the lab covers everything from sample preparation to structural analysis and magnetization measurements.
*Illustrative imageSuperconductivity and magnetism in graphite intercalation compounds
The lab prepares related materials to study superconductivity in compounds made by inserting elements between graphite layers, examining how it relates to the transition temperature and electronic states. It also studies magnetism in materials that use chlorides of magnetic elements as the intercalant.
*Illustrative imageImpurities and electronic states in diamond
Superconductivity has been observed in heavily boron-doped diamond. To explore its mechanism, the lab observes the 2p electronic states of boron and carbon using synchrotron soft X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy. It also studies diamond containing impurity elements other than boron.
*Illustrative imageCondensed matter studies using unstable nuclei
To determine the valence of elements inserted between graphite layers, the lab studies the behavior of iron in graphite using Mössbauer spectroscopy and magnetization measurements. This work is carried out jointly with the Yoshio Kobayashi Lab.
