Yukio Tanaka, Professor
1 student voices
The Tanaka-Kawaguchi Lab studies, through theory, the properties of matter made up of large numbers of electrons and atoms. In the quantum world, quantum statistics unlike anything in everyday life give rise to many phenomena, such as superconductivity and magnetism. Focusing on topological quantum phenomena, from electrons in solids to ultracold atomic gases, the lab works to elucidate and predict new principles and functions. The lab also actively collaborates with leading labs in Japan and abroad.
Koshi Takenaka, Professor
1 student voices
The Takenaka-Hirai Lab conducts research with the goal of creating new functional materials from the physics inside matter. In transition metals such as manganese, iron, and copper, electrons interact strongly with one another and form various kinds of order called “electronic phases.” Building on the idea of controlling these electronic phases, the lab has developed new material functions, such as giant “negative thermal expansion,” in which a material shrinks when heated. The lab welcomes students from a wide range of fields, including not only physics but also chemistry and materials science.
Takahiro Moriyama, Professor
1 student voices
The Moriyama Lab studies new physical phenomena that arise from a property of electrons called "spin." Spintronics, which makes use of spin, is expected to lead to low-power, high-density, high-speed technologies for information storage and communication. Using nanoscale magnetic thin films and wires as well as two-dimensional magnetic materials, the lab searches for new properties through a variety of measurements and controls how magnetism and electric current flow. Based on these results, the lab also works on developing new magnetic memory devices and high-frequency devices.
Satoshi Matsuyama, Professor
1 student voices
The Matsuyama Lab develops a variety of X-ray microscopes that use high-precision X-ray mirrors. The lab aims to realize an X-ray microscope that rivals electron microscopes and can resolve details finer than 10 nm. It studies everything from X-ray mirrors to microscopes and their applications, working to open up new fields in materials science, medicine, biology, and more. Experiments are mainly carried out at large synchrotron radiation facilities such as SPring-8 and SACLA, where students can acquire skills in optics, programming, and design.
Katsuyuki Matsunaga, Professor
1 student voices
The Matsunaga Lab studies how the microscopic structures and properties of materials arise, from the viewpoint of electronic states and atomic arrangements. The lab aims to understand these mechanisms and lead them to the creation of new materials. In addition to theoretical calculations with parallel computers, the lab is equipped with instruments for sample processing and for examining electrical properties and deformation, so it investigates materials through both computation and experiment.
Yuichi Masubuchi, Professor
1 student voices
The Masubuchi Lab studies the rheology of soft matter from a physics perspective. Toothpaste, lipstick, and cream are examples of the many substances around us that are neither quite solid nor quite liquid, and rheology is the field that studies the motion of such materials. The lab combines experiments, theory, and computational science, and also conducts research that applies findings from basic research to engineering. Many of its topics do not use quantum mechanics or solid-state physics, and the lab is closely related to statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics.
Taishi Takenobu, Professor
0 student voices
The Takenobu Lab studies “pi-electron materials” such as organic materials, graphene, and carbon nanotubes. These materials are made mainly of carbon, and their carbon atoms are linked by a distinctive type of bond called a “pi bond.” Making use of their physical characteristics, the lab works on a wide range of topics, from fundamental studies of physical properties to applications in devices.
Hideo Kishida, Professor
0 student voices
The Kishida Lab studies the properties of materials using light. Using a variety of spectroscopic methods, it examines how materials with “low-dimensional electron systems,” in which electrons are confined in thin chains or thin layers, behave in response to light. The lab aims to clarify the electronic states and optical properties inside materials and to control the state of light.
Shao-Liang Zhang, Professor
0 student voices
The Zhang-Sogabe Lab studies algorithms for fast computation, based on the theory of numerical analysis and applied mathematics. Using the methods it develops, the lab solves problems that arise in fields such as computational physics through computation on computers. Its research has two sides: an “algebraic” side that solves equations quickly and accurately, and an “analytic” side that deals with the theory of differential equations and data assimilation. The lab pursues its research on the idea that the faster computers become, the more the speed of algorithms matters.
Hajime Sagayama, Professor
0 student voices
The Sagayama Lab studies the structure and fluctuations of materials using quantum beams such as synchrotron X-rays, neutrons, and muons. Its subject, strongly correlated electron systems, is sensitive to external stimuli such as electric fields, magnetic fields, and electromagnetic waves, and shows complex responses. The lab aims to clarify the microscopic mechanisms behind these responses. The lab operates one of the beamlines at Aichi SR, a synchrotron radiation facility in Aichi Prefecture, and also uses it for its own research.
