Quantum Materials Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab investigates superconductivity and magnetism at the atomic level using NMR.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the strange phenomena shown by electrons at extremely low temperatures.
The Quantum Materials Lab studies a variety of physical phenomena that occur in strongly correlated electron systems, in which electrons in a solid interact strongly with one another.
At temperatures far below room temperature, phenomena such as superconductivity occur that are far removed from everyday experience.
Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), the lab investigates a variety of superconductors and magnetic materials from an atomic-level perspective.
It makes measurements under extremely low temperatures, high pressure, and strong magnetic fields, aiming to discover and understand new phenomena.
Key terms
- Strongly correlated electron system
- A material in which interactions such as repulsion between electrons are strong, giving rise to properties different from those of ordinary metals.
- Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
- A measurement method that uses atomic nuclei as tiny magnets to probe the state of the electrons around them.
- Superconductivity
- A phenomenon in which, below a certain temperature, electrical resistance drops to zero and magnetic fields are expelled.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies a wide range of physical phenomena in strongly correlated systems, in which electrons in solids interact strongly. Centered on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), it investigates superconductors and magnetic materials under extremely low temperatures, high pressure, and strong magnetic fields.
*Illustrative imageFerromagnetic Superconductivity in Uranium Compounds
The lab studied UCoGe, a material that is both ferromagnetic and superconducting, and confirmed a new mechanism in which superconductivity arises precisely because the material is ferromagnetic. It also uses NMR to investigate the magnetic properties of UCoAl, in which a magnetic field can induce strong ferromagnetism.
*Illustrative imageIron-Based Superconductors and Magnetism
The lab studies iron-based high-temperature superconductors, which are originally antiferromagnets and become superconducting through element substitution or pressure. By investigating the relationship between magnetism and superconductivity, it revealed that iron-based superconductivity is a different kind of superconductivity from the conventional type.
