The lab is a condensed matter physics lab that develops new superconductors.
AboutAbout the lab
Creating new superconductors through materials development
The lab conducts research on developing new superconductors.
Making use of the properties of elements, the lab controls crystal structures to create new materials.
The synthesized materials are examined for their crystal structures and superconducting properties through X-ray diffraction and various other measurements.
For structural analysis of complex materials and detailed measurements of physical properties, the lab also conducts experiments at large-scale facilities in Japan and abroad together with collaborators.
Key terms
- Superconductivity
- A phenomenon that appears along with spontaneous symmetry breaking. It occurs in a wide variety of materials and takes diverse forms that reflect the characteristics of each material.
- Coordination polyhedron
- A polyhedron formed by the atoms surrounding a given atom in a crystal. Controlling its shape provides a clue for materials design.
- Polymorph
- A form of the same substance with a different crystal structure. The lab treats the search for polymorphs as one method of developing new materials.

ResearchResearch themes
Superconductivity is a phenomenon that appears in a wide variety of materials and takes diverse forms that reflect the characteristics of each material. With the goal of opening up new fields of condensed matter physics, the lab is developing new superconducting materials.
*Illustrative imageStrategies for Developing New Superconductors
The main research themes are the development of new high-temperature superconductors and the exploration of novel superconducting states. Making use of the properties of elements to control crystal structures, the lab develops new materials through materials design, control of coordination polyhedra, and the search for polymorphs.
*Illustrative imageFrom Material Synthesis to Property Measurement
Materials are synthesized in various types of electric furnaces, and their crystal structures and chemical compositions are determined by X-ray diffraction and X-ray fluorescence analysis. The lab measures magnetic properties, transport phenomena, and optical properties, and also conducts experiments at large-scale facilities in Japan and abroad together with collaborators.
