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.
Koh Saitoh, Professor

The Saitoh Lab studies materials using electron beams. Because electrons have a much shorter wavelength than light, an electron microscope can image objects on the nanometer scale that are difficult to see with an optical microscope. Beyond magnified imaging, it can also perform elemental analysis and analyze electronic states and crystal structures. Currently, the lab is working on research that uses electron vortex beams for observation, a transmission electron microscope that uses spin-polarized electron beams, and the development of an electron microscope that captures extremely fast changes.
Tomoki Terada, Associate Professor

The Biomolecular Physics and Engineering Lab studies the physics of biomolecules, mainly proteins, using theory and computation. Its work includes protein structure prediction and design, and the dynamics of how structures change.
Satoshi Kashiwaya, Professor
0 student voices
The Kashiwaya Lab studies the properties of superconductors and topological materials through their surfaces and junctions. At an interface, where two materials meet, electronic states can appear that differ from those inside either material. The lab grows crystals from scratch, fabricates them into tiny junctions, and even builds its own measurement equipment, aiming to observe phenomena that have not yet been discovered. The lab collaborates with the theoretical Tanaka-Kawaguchi Lab, so students can also work on both experiment and theory.
Daigoro Hirai, Professor
0 student voices
The lab studies how to create materials with new functions from transition metal compounds. In transition metals such as manganese, iron, and copper, electrons interact strongly with one another, forming various kinds of order known as "electronic phases." Using its own synthesis methods, the lab investigates superconductivity in high-entropy compounds and electronic order arising from spin-orbit coupling. Students from a wide range of fields, not only physics but also chemistry and materials science, are welcome.
Masashi Hasegawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Hasegawa Lab uses ultrahigh-pressure and ultrahigh-temperature environments to synthesize new materials that cannot be obtained at ordinary pressure. A diamond anvil cell small enough to sit in the palm of a hand can generate pressures comparable to those at the center of the Earth. Under ultrahigh pressure and temperature, a "supercritical fluid" appears that cannot be distinguished as either a gas or a liquid. Using it as the medium for reactions makes it possible to obtain highly crystalline materials in a short time. The lab synthesizes inorganic compounds such as nitrides and oxides and clarifies their crystal structures and properties.
Hiroshi Ikuta, Professor
0 student voices
The Ikuta Lab experimentally studies physical phenomena produced by electrons in solids. In particular, it places importance on synthesizing high-quality samples on its own. The lab measures the properties of the samples it makes, discovers and understands functions not seen before, and ultimately aims to propose them as new materials. It grows thin films and single crystals of iron-based superconductors and topological materials and investigates their properties.
Osamu Nakatsuka, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakatsuka Lab studies new semiconductor materials and devices based on group IV semiconductors, typified by silicon. It aims to improve the performance of extremely small, nanometer-scale transistors and to realize devices that combine light and electricity. The lab works on exploring new materials, designing device structures, and researching LSI manufacturing processes. It focuses on techniques for growing thin films such as GeSn, germanium with added tin, with their atomic arrangement aligned.
Masao Tabuchi, Professor
0 student voices
The Tabuchi Lab conducts research on measurement using synchrotron radiation, particularly the XAFS method and its measurement techniques. XAFS examines the fine oscillations that appear in how X-rays are absorbed. The position of the absorption edge, where absorption increases sharply in a step-like manner, reveals which elements a sample contains. The lab is affiliated with the Synchrotron Radiation Research Center at Nagoya University, and also explores research and measurement possibilities that make use of the Aichi Synchrotron Radiation Center in Seto City. Since 2021, it has taken part in research and education as a research group of the Department of Materials Science, Graduate School of Engineering.
