Koji Morita, Professor

The Nuclear Energy Systems Lab studies safe nuclear power that does not cause severe accidents, in which the reactor core is heavily damaged. Nuclear power is a leading application of quantum physics and engineering, producing large amounts of energy from small atomic nuclei, and it emits no carbon dioxide during power generation. The lab proposes next-generation nuclear power systems that control nuclear reactions and energy transport during an accident, so that no radioactive materials are released even in the worst case. It works on experiments and numerical simulation of thermal-hydraulic phenomena in which heat transfer, fluid flow, and phase change are combined, the development of safety assessment methods for severe accidents, and the development of passive safety reactor systems.

The lab uses computational theory based on quantum mechanics to design nanoscale devices from a microscopic perspective. It also develops multiscale algorithms that describe the behavior of large systems from microscopic information. Examples include the design of molecular devices through quantum transport calculations, and the design of electrochemical devices through first-principles calculations and kinetic Monte Carlo calculations. The lab also develops quantum algorithms for using rapidly advancing quantum computers in the research and development of molecular and solid-state materials, and carries out theoretical design of new quantum computers by discovering new quantum phenomena.

The Applied Nuclear Physics and Electromagnetic Analysis Lab conducts experimental and theoretical studies of atomic nuclei using beams produced by accelerators, and develops technology for FFA accelerators. The nuclear group develops program codes to predict nuclear reactions, and also carries out the experiments needed for that purpose. The accelerator group develops FFA accelerator technology, aiming to establish the fundamental technologies for applications such as proton therapy for cancer and accelerator-driven subcritical reactors. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Uozumi Lab."

The Quantum Beam Physics and Measurement Lab works on radiation measurement technology and research on nuclear reactions. It studies methods such as dose evaluation during radiation therapy and radiation measurement during the decommissioning of nuclear reactor facilities. The lab also develops detectors that operate at extremely low temperatures and detect gamma rays and X-rays with excellent energy resolution and position resolution.

The Reactor Physics and Fusion Engineering Lab studies the theory, design methods, and safety of nuclear fission and fusion energy systems. Its work is based on the physics of atoms, atomic nuclei, and plasmas, together with control theory and systems engineering. Research is carried out by Professor Fujimoto's group, which works on fission reactors, and Associate Professor Matsura's group, which works on nuclear burning and neutron engineering for fusion reactors and on reactor applications.

The Quantum Beam Materials Physics and Engineering Lab conducts research and education in materials science based on the interaction between quantum beams and matter. Through electron microscopy observation, diffraction, and analysis, and through spectroscopy experiments at synchrotron radiation facilities, the lab carries out basic research to understand the fine structure of functional nanostructured materials at the atomic level. Quantum beams transfer energy to atoms and electrons in materials and introduce lattice defects. The lab also studies irradiation-induced defects in nuclear reactor materials used under irradiation, including how atomic structures and microstructures develop.

The Energy Creation Materials Science Lab, with the broad aim of harmonizing future energy development with the Earth's resources, studies next-generation nuclear fuel and the treatment and disposal of radioactive waste. The lab's website regards spent fuel not as "troublesome" waste but as a treasure trove, and puts forward recycling and safety as its keywords. Its research is divided into nuclear fuels such as ceramic fuels, solidified waste forms such as high-level waste glass, and the behavior of radionuclides in montmorillonite and granite. On the lab's website, it is also referred to as the "Inagaki Lab."
Tatsuya Kawae, Associate Professor

The lab conducts experimental research on the quantum properties of matter. It investigates new physical phenomena arising from orbital degrees of freedom, as well as the electrical transport properties of nanosized metal wires. It also studies quantum phenomena exhibited by hydrogen absorbed in metals. Developing the experimental equipment needed for its research in-house is another important theme.
Kenji Ishida, Professor

The lab (also known as the Ishida Lab) controls the structure of organic thin films with nanoscale thickness and studies the functions that arise from them. It aims to build the academic foundation of “molecular dipole engineering,” which freely controls the electric dipole moments (dipoles) of molecules and applies them to functions such as sensors and energy harvesting. The lab also searches for functional organic molecules through quantum chemical calculations, working toward new optical and electronic functions and organic semiconductor lasers. Using liquid crystal electroconvection, which occurs when an electric field is applied to a liquid crystal, it also studies the properties of transport phenomena caused by weak turbulence.
Tomokazu Yamamoto, Associate Professor

Associate Professor Yamamoto belongs to the Faculty of Engineering at Kyushu University and concurrently serves at the Ultramicroscopy Research Center. The professor works on analyzing images taken with electron microscopes and observing catalyst materials. The Ultramicroscopy Research Center is a shared-use facility at Kyushu University, equipped with fundamental and advanced instruments related to electron microscopy. Through various support programs, it offers opportunities to use its instruments not only to faculty, staff, and students within the university but also to people outside it.
