The lab studies the properties of materials in strong magnetic fields to explore new physical phenomena.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering new physical phenomena that high magnetic fields bring out
The Hagiwara Lab (Ultra-High Magnetic Field Condensed Matter Physics Group) measures the properties of materials in strong magnetic fields, aiming to discover new physical phenomena induced by high magnetic fields and to elucidate their mechanisms.
Using nondestructive pulse magnets that can generate fields above 60 tesla and superconducting magnets of up to 16 tesla, the lab develops high-precision instruments for measuring physical properties.
Through collaborations with many researchers in Japan and abroad, the lab covers a broad range of fields, from basic research in materials science to applications such as functional materials.
On the lab's website, the group is introduced under the name "Hagiwara Lab."
Key terms
- Nondestructive pulse magnet
- A type of electromagnet that produces a strong magnetic field for only a very short time, designed so that the magnet itself is not destroyed
- Geometric frustration
- A situation in which the spatial arrangement of atoms prevents a single lowest-energy magnetic order from being determined
- Electron spin resonance (ESR)
- A measurement method that probes magnetism by using the phenomenon in which the electron spins in a material absorb electromagnetic waves in a magnetic field
- Upper critical field
- The magnetic field strength at which superconductivity is destroyed as the field is increased

ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to discover new physical phenomena induced by high magnetic fields and to elucidate how they arise. It develops its own measurement instruments that use pulse magnets and superconducting magnets, and investigates the magnetism and superconductivity of materials in collaboration with researchers in Japan and abroad.
*Illustrative imageSpin-frustrated magnets
The lab studies the properties of magnets that show geometric frustration, in which the spatial arrangement of atoms leaves the magnetic order ambiguous, using high-field magnetization and high-field electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements.
*Illustrative imageHigh-field transport phenomena in high-temperature superconductors
Cuprate and iron-based high-temperature superconductors have very large upper critical fields (Hc2) at low temperatures. The lab evaluates Hc2 by measuring electrical resistance in pulsed high magnetic fields, and aims to find clues to how superconductivity emerges from the magnetic field–temperature phase diagram.
*Illustrative imagePhysical properties of functional materials
The lab studies the physical properties of functional materials such as materials showing nonlinear conduction, thermoelectric conversion materials, and materials with arrayed nanospaces.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of high-field measurement instruments
The lab develops instruments such as a system that uses 3He to measure magnetization in pulsed high magnetic fields at very low temperature (0.5 K), and an ultra-high-field ESR system that uses an 80-tesla-class nondestructive pulse magnet. It also works on measurement techniques under multiple extreme conditions, combining high pressure and very low temperature with high magnetic fields.
