Advanced Inorganic Solid-State Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A solid-state chemistry lab that creates new functional materials from transition metal oxides.
AboutAbout the lab
Designing materials to create new functions
The Advanced Inorganic Solid-State Chemistry Lab (Shimakawa Lab) studies the solid-state chemistry of transition metal oxides, centered on the exploration, design, synthesis, and evaluation of "functional materials."
Working with inorganic materials, the lab synthesizes substances that show interesting physical properties by exploiting the characteristics of elements, seeks to understand those substances, and, based on the knowledge gained, designs and explores new materials.
Key terms
- Solid-state chemistry
- Chemistry that studies the synthesis, structure, and properties of solid materials
- Transition metal oxides
- Compounds of oxygen and transition metals such as iron and cobalt
- Pulsed laser deposition
- A method of making thin films by using a laser to eject material that then deposits on a substrate

Through the design, synthesis, and evaluation of materials whose structures are controlled at the nanoscale, the lab clarifies the crystal structures and electronic states that give rise to physical properties, and explores and develops new functional materials.
*Illustrative imageFunctional Transition Metal Oxides
Owing to their flexible crystal structures and diverse electronic states, transition metal oxides show a wide range of properties, including dielectric, magnetic, optical, and electrical conduction properties. The lab clarifies the origins of these properties across electrons, spins, and the lattice, and searches for new functional materials.
*Illustrative imageDistinctive Materials Synthesis and Structural Analysis
The lab has methods such as synthesis under high pressure using a cubic anvil cell and the fabrication of thin films and artificial superlattices by pulsed laser deposition, and combines them with crystal structure analysis using synchrotron X-rays and neutrons and measurements of electrical and magnetic properties.
*Illustrative imageThe Research Perspective of Solid-State Chemistry
The lab regards "physical properties" also as "functions" that are useful to society. Building on the evaluation of fundamental properties and the advancement of synthesis methods, it aims to develop new materials useful for electronics, spintronics, and energy and environmental issues.
