Tabuchi Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses synchrotron radiation and the XAFS method to look inside materials in 2D and 3D.

AboutAbout the lab
Seeing the state inside materials with synchrotron radiation.
The Tabuchi Lab studies applications of synchrotron radiation to materials science, in particular synchrotron radiation measurement centered on the XAFS method.
Research begins with learning what XAFS is and what can be learned from measurements that use synchrotron radiation.
Currently, the lab aims to realize measurements that quickly make the chemical state of materials visible in 2D and 3D, using a new method that simultaneously measures transmission images at multiple energies.
As part of the Synchrotron Radiation Research Center, the lab also explores research and measurement possibilities that make use of the Aichi Synchrotron Radiation Center (Aichi SR).
Key terms
- Synchrotron radiation
- Light also called synchrotron light. It is applied in many ways to materials science research.
- XAFS
- A measurement method that uses synchrotron radiation. When measured in 2D or 3D, it can make the chemical state of a material visible.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab's main focus is research on synchrotron radiation measurement, centered on the XAFS method, and its application to materials science. It works on advancing XAFS measurement itself, for example by realizing measurements that do not yet exist and by finding ways to perform existing measurements better.
*Illustrative imageMaking 2D XAFS measurement more accessible
In materials used as thin films, such as battery electrodes, there can be non-uniformity within the plane. The lab aims to make 2D XAFS measurement easier to use so that the whole picture, including the distribution, can be measured at once.
3D XAFS measurement in a shorter time
3D measurement can reveal the state inside a volume. The lab aims to shorten the measurement time so that it can be used to study materials with grain boundaries or bonded interfaces, compositional fluctuations within materials, and similar subjects.
*Illustrative imageFollowing changes in materials in real time
The lab aims to make it possible to follow changes in the state of materials by shortening 2D and 3D measurement times as much as possible. Targets include observing how non-uniformity in a film changes under external stimuli, and how the state of an interface changes upon heating.
