Kawamura Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores material properties such as superconductivity using first-principles calculations.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering the properties of materials through computation.
The Kawamura Lab uses first-principles calculations to study material properties such as superconductivity, phonons, and surfaces and interfaces.
In superconductivity, the lab works on predicting by calculation the transition temperature at which a material becomes superconducting, and on investigating the superconducting gap.
The lab also develops computational programs and conducts research using data science and machine learning.
The lab was founded in April 2025 and belongs to the Physical Engineering Education field.
Key terms
- Superconductivity
- A phenomenon in which a metal's electrical resistance drops to zero when it is cooled, and electrons move collectively
- Transition temperature
- The temperature (Tc) at which a material becomes superconducting. Below this temperature, the material exhibits superconductivity
- First-principles calculation
- A calculation that determines the properties of a material based on theory, without relying on empirical values
- Superconducting density functional theory
- A method used for first-principles calculation of transition temperatures. It can incorporate effects such as the electron–phonon interaction without empirical parameters
