Tomoki Terada, Associate Professor
0 student voices
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.
Katsunori Yoshimatsu, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Frontier Computational Materials Science group studies turbulence theory and the properties of materials using computation. Associate Professor Katsunori Yoshimatsu studies the universal structure of turbulence, in which eddies of many sizes mix together, using large-scale numerical computation and theoretical analysis. Assistant Professor Masaaki Araidai specializes in computational materials science and the electronic properties of surfaces and interfaces. From FY2022 to FY2024, Assistant Professor Araidai used machine-learning potentials to simulate the motion of ions inside battery materials.
Yoshitaka Adachi, Professor
0 student voices
The Adachi Lab studies the relationship between microstructure, the fine internal structure of materials such as metals, and material properties. The lab analyzes microstructure in high dimensions, including its changes over time, to clarify how microstructures form and how properties emerge. It also conducts research that compiles the obtained information using machine learning and modeling to estimate microstructures and properties.
Takahisa Yamamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamamoto Lab uses transmission electron microscopy to analyze the structure of materials at the nanometer scale. Under the theme of materials science through electron microscopy, the lab works on analyzing interfaces between solids, clarifying the mechanisms of flash sintering, and clarifying how materials fracture. It uses methods for observing changes in materials in situ inside an electron microscope, as well as sample preparation techniques based on a focused ion beam.
