Kazutaka Kudo, Professor
0 student voices
The lab conducts research on developing new superconductors. Making use of the properties of elements, the lab controls crystal structures to create new materials. The synthesized materials are examined for their crystal structures and superconducting properties through X-ray diffraction and various other measurements. For structural analysis of complex materials and detailed measurements of physical properties, the lab also conducts experiments at large-scale facilities in Japan and abroad together with collaborators.
Noriaki Hanasaki, Professor
0 student voices
The Hanasaki Lab (Strongly Correlated Physical Properties Group) manipulates electron properties such as charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom, and experimentally explores new quantum phenomena. Focusing on electron correlation effects, topological effects, and frustration effects, the lab covers a wide range of themes from fundamental to applied research. Research proceeds in a cycle of making samples, measuring them, thinking, and making again, and the lab builds its own measurement instruments as well. The lab is introduced as one where students and professors get along well, with frequent exchange with other universities, including joint research.
Yasuhiro Niimi, Professor
0 student voices
The Niimi Lab (Nanoscale Physical Properties Group) fabricates devices in which real materials are shrunk to the nanometer scale and studies their physical properties. The lab's research aims to explore properties specific to the nanoscale and to detect spin-related properties using spin currents. Prof. Niimi's motto is to enjoy research through free and lively discussion regardless of age or year of study. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Nanoscale Physical Properties Lab."
Jobu Matsuno, Professor
0 student voices
The Matsuno Lab (Interface Physical Properties Group) designs interfaces of transition metal oxides, which are strongly correlated electron systems, and studies them consistently from fabrication to evaluation. By controlling the symmetry and dimensionality of materials at atomic-scale interfaces, the lab develops new materials and pioneers new physical properties. Its research introduction covers control of skyrmions, electronic phases of iridium oxides, and detection of spin currents. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Matsuno Lab."
Michisato Toyoda, Professor
0 student voices
The Toyoda Lab (Mass Spectrometry Group) develops original mass spectrometers and conducts interdisciplinary research that brings together different fields using them. Mass spectrometry is a technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions (mass divided by charge number) and their abundance, and it can analyze even extremely small amounts of sample. The lab's history goes back to the development of Japan's first mass spectrometer in the late 1930s, and it has students from both the Physics and Chemistry programs. The lab also conducts research on mass spectrometry imaging, which visualizes the chemical components of biological tissues and cells.
Shinya Kanemura, Professor
0 student voices
The Kanemura Lab (Particle Theory Group 1) studies elementary particle physics, in particular particle cosmology and particle phenomenology. The lab builds new-physics theories that can explain unsolved problems in particle physics and astrophysics, and studies how to test them in various experiments. Using the properties of the Higgs boson, discovered in 2012, as a clue, the lab theoretically explores the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and the new physics behind it. Following the direct detection of gravitational waves in 2016, the lab also studies whether particle theories can be tested using gravitational waves.
Tetsuya Onogi, Professor
0 student voices
The Onogi Lab (Particle Theory Group 2) studies the fundamental theory of elementary particles based on gauge theory. Focusing on phenomena that the Standard Model cannot explain, and on the dynamics and symmetry breaking behind them, the lab aims to establish a fundamental theory for a new era. Its research themes are lattice gauge theory and its applications, and flavor structure and CP violation. The lab conducts joint research with Particle Theory Group 1 (Kanemura) and Particle Theory Group 3 (Nishioka), and holds weekly seminars with them.
Tatsuma Nishioka, Professor
0 student voices
The Nishioka Lab (Particle Theory Group 3) studies quantum field theory and superstring theory. It aims to answer simple but fundamental questions: what is the ultimate matter that makes up this universe, and how did the universe begin? The lab also works on the AdS/CFT correspondence (the holographic principle), black holes and quantum gravity, and general relativity and cosmology. The lab conducts joint research with the Kanemura Lab and the Ohnogi Lab of the Particle Theory Lab.
Masayuki Asakawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Asakawa Lab (Nuclear Theory Group) theoretically studies the physics of quarks, the constituents one arrives at when protons and neutrons are broken down further. In today's universe, quarks are confined inside hadrons and are not observed on their own. The lab aims to elucidate the phenomena that occurred as the universe evolved from its extremely hot early stage to its present form, and to investigate the internal structure and reactions of hadrons. At times the lab also performs first-principles simulations on supercomputers, and it is strong in this type of problem.
Kazuhiko Kuroki, Professor
0 student voices
The Kuroki Lab (Solid-State Electron Theory) studies the behavior of electrons in solids using theoretical methods such as computer and analytical calculations. Its main themes include superconductivity in strongly correlated electron systems, where repulsion between electrons strongly affects material properties, and the thermoelectric effect, which converts temperature differences into electricity. Using models that incorporate the band structure of electrons in solids, the lab aims to understand experimental results and to predict superconductors that have not yet been discovered. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kuroki Lab."
