Nobuyuki Nakamura Lab
Machine-translated · View original
An atomic physics lab that explores the atomic world through experiments with highly charged ions.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring atomic physics with highly charged ions.
The Nobuyuki Nakamura Lab conducts experimental research in atomic physics using highly charged ions.
Highly charged ions are ions that carry a large positive charge because many electrons have been removed from the atom by ionization.
Using one of the world's leading highly charged ion sources, the lab also carries out joint research with institutions such as the National Institute for Fusion Science and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan.
The lab welcomes visits from students, not only third-year students but also first- and second-year students.
Key terms
- Highly charged ion
- An ion with a large positive charge after many electrons have been removed.
- Ionization
- Removing an electron from an atom.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates the atomic physics of highly charged ions through experiments using one of the world's leading highly charged ion sources. It also does joint research with fusion and astronomy research institutions, and works on developing instruments for studying highly charged ions.
*Illustrative imageAtomic physics of highly charged ions
Electrons remaining in a highly charged ion interact with the strong electromagnetic field of the nucleus, so effects not seen in neutral atoms or low-charge ions stand out. In highly charged ions of heavy elements, relativistic and quantum electrodynamic effects become large, making them a subject of atomic physics research.
*Illustrative imageJoint research with astronomy and fusion
Highly charged ions exist naturally in high-temperature places in space such as the Sun, and are also one of the key factors at the high temperatures of experimental fusion reactors. While exchanging data with observatories and fusion research facilities, the lab jointly studies the properties of highly charged ions.
