Exploring the origin of superconductivity from an atomic-scale perspective
The Mukuda Lab experimentally explores the origin of high-temperature superconductivity and new states of matter in which electron spin, charge, and orbitals are intertwined, from an atomic-scale perspective.
Its main method is nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which selects specific atoms in a material and probes the state of electrons microscopically through their nuclei.
The lab also pursues the possibilities of NMR under combined conditions of ultralow temperature, high magnetic field, and high pressure, opening up new functions in new materials.
The lab's goals are for room-temperature superconductivity to be discovered somewhere, and for the world's best thermoelectric material to be developed, based on guidelines found through experiments.
Key terms
- nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
- An experimental technique that probes the state of electrons inside a material microscopically through the nuclei of specific atoms
- superconductivity
- A state in which phenomena such as zero electrical resistance are observed

ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates why superconductivity occurs, from the scale of atoms inside materials, using an experimental technique called nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). In addition to clarifying the electronic states and the mechanism of superconductivity in new superconducting materials, the lab also works on searching for the factors that improve the performance of thermoelectric materials.
*Illustrative imageElectronic States of Iron-Based High-Temperature Superconductors
Using NMR, the lab investigates how electron spin and orbitals are involved in the origin of superconductivity in iron-based high-temperature superconductors. In materials whose structure and electron count were varied by elemental substitution, the lab clarified the relationship between orbital-coupled spin fluctuations and the transition temperature.
*Illustrative imageSuperconductivity in Layered Nickel Oxides
The lab investigates high-temperature superconductivity in layered nickel oxides through NMR and NQR experiments. A joint research result in which a metallic state accompanied by an electron density wave at ambient pressure was observed microscopically was selected as an Editors' Choice article in the Journal of the Physical Society of Japan.
*Illustrative imageSearching for Factors That Improve Thermoelectric Performance
The lab also conducts experiments to search for the factors that improve the performance of thermoelectric materials. Its goal is for the world's best thermoelectric material to be developed, based on guidelines found through experiments.
