Solid-State Properties Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that creates new substances by controlling electrons and hydrogen.
AboutAbout the lab
Using every degree of freedom: atoms, electrons, ions, and spins.
The Solid-State Properties Chemistry Lab creates new organic–inorganic materials by making full use of the degrees of freedom of atoms, electrons, ions, and spins.
By combining the diversity of electronic states in metal ions with the diversity of organic ligand design, the lab produces new materials with unusual crystal structures and electronic structures.
Its research is not confined to inorganic or organic materials, and draws on the fields of solid-state chemistry, coordination chemistry, and molecular science.
Key terms
- Superconductivity
- A phenomenon in which electrical resistance drops to zero below a certain temperature
- Solid-state protonics
- The science and technology of freely controlling hydrogen inside solids
- Coordination polymer
- A compound in the form of chains or networks, made by alternately linking metal ions and organic molecules

ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to create novel organic–inorganic materials by making full use of the degrees of freedom of atoms, electrons, ions, and spins.
*Illustrative imageQuantum Phases of Electrons, Ions, and Spins
The lab aims to freely construct and control quantum-mechanical electronic phases, such as superconducting and ferromagnetic phases, as well as ionic phases such as proton-based superionic conducting phases, with the goal of laying the groundwork for "molecular devices" that approach biological functions.
*Illustrative imageEstablishing Proton Electronics
Aiming to establish solid-state protonics, the science and technology of freely controlling hydrogen in solids, the lab creates materials with new properties and functions arising from electrons and hydrogen, such as quantum phase transitions caused by the coupling of electrons and hydrogen and superprotonic conductivity in coordination polymers.
*Illustrative imageMultielement Nanoalloys
The lab develops multielement nanoalloys, which combine metal elements that do not mix at the atomic level, allowing any elements to be mixed in any proportions, and uses them to develop materials such as hydrogen storage materials and solid catalysts.
