Kokubo Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses superconductivity to visualize magnetic fields and heat at the nanoscale.
AboutAbout the lab
Seeing the nano world through the power of superconductivity.
The Kokubo Lab searches for new solid-state properties through real-space measurements using superconducting thermal and magnetic microscopes.
The lab develops superconducting sensors that detect extremely weak magnetic fields and heat, and low-temperature thermal and magnetic microscopes that use them.
With these microscopes, the lab investigates the frictional dynamics of magnetic flux quanta (vortices) and unusual low-dimensional electronic properties.
Key terms
- Superconductivity
- A phenomenon characterized by perfect conductivity, in which electrical resistance drops to zero, and perfect diamagnetism, in which magnetic fields are expelled
- Superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID)
- A device that makes use of superconductivity. It is used as a sensor to detect extremely weak magnetic fields and heat
- Quantum mechanics
- The physical theory governing the microscopic world of atoms and electrons. It describes phenomena in which particle-like and wave-like properties coexist
ResearchResearch themes
In the nanoscale world, strange phenomena described by quantum mechanics appear, in which particle-like and wave-like properties coexist. The lab develops superconducting sensors for weak magnetic fields and heat, turns them into microscopes, and explores new solid-state properties through real-space measurements.
