Nayuta Ueda, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Condensed Matter Quantum Computing Lab studies electron correlations in quasicrystals, as well as the development and use of quantum algorithms from a condensed matter perspective. A quasicrystal is an aperiodic crystal that lacks translational symmetry and has unconventional point-group symmetry, such as five-fold rotational symmetry. A quantum algorithm is an algorithm designed for quantum computers. A quantum computer is a new type of computer that performs computation using the principles of quantum mechanics.

The lab develops mass spectrometry instruments and carries out interdisciplinary research using them. At its core is an instrument called the multi-turn time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MULTUM). Working closely with researchers in various fields and with industry, the lab aims to develop instruments that “make it possible to see what could not be seen before.” The lab also works on developing next-generation high-performance mass spectrometers, ionization methods, and detectors, and on nurturing talent.

The Challenging Individual Research Division is one of the divisions of the Forefront Research Center, Graduate School of Science, The University of Osaka. On the center's project research introduction page, individual projects are listed under this division, one for each principal investigator. Associate Professor Masayuki Ochi, who belongs to the Kuroki Group in the Department of Physics, is the principal investigator of “Development of high-accuracy first-principles calculation methods based on wave function theory.” “Creation of ultra-trace mass spectrometry imaging through precise fluid control of pico-liquids,” by Associate Professor Yoichi Otsuka of the Toyoda Group (Mass Spectrometry Group), ended with fiscal year 2024 (Reiwa 6).

Masayuki Hagiwara, Professor

The Hagiwara Lab (Ultra-High Magnetic Field Condensed Matter Physics Group) measures the properties of materials in strong magnetic fields, aiming to discover new physical phenomena induced by high magnetic fields and to elucidate their mechanisms. Using nondestructive pulse magnets that can generate fields above 60 tesla and superconducting magnets of up to 16 tesla, the lab develops high-precision instruments for measuring physical properties. Through collaborations with many researchers in Japan and abroad, the lab covers a broad range of fields, from basic research in materials science to applications such as functional materials. On the lab's website, the group is introduced under the name "Hagiwara Lab."

Shin-ichi Kimura, Professor

The Kimura Lab (Optical Condensed Matter Physics Group) studies the origin of the functionality of solids and biological materials by examining the states of electrons, lattices, and molecules in them. Magnetism, superconductivity, the redox reactions and photosynthesis that sustain life, and similar phenomena arise from the states of electrons, the vibrations of lattices and molecules, and the quantum mechanical interactions among them. To observe the states of electrons, lattices, and molecules, the lab develops new spectroscopy and imaging methods using synchrotron radiation, pulsed lasers, and high-brightness electron beams. Based on the information obtained from these observations, the lab aims to develop new materials and create new functionality.

Kenichi Asano, Professor
0 student voices
The Asano Lab (Quantum Condensed Matter Theory Group) studies the properties of electrons in semiconductors through theory and computation. It deals with phenomena involving at least one of the following: microstructures, low-dimensional systems such as graphene, long-range Coulomb interactions between electrons, and optical response spectra. The lab studies the system of electrons and holes created in a semiconductor under light irradiation as a subject that can be called a microcosm of materials science. For graduation research, the lab accepts students from the Department of Physics and from the Life Science Course of the Department of Biological Sciences; at the graduate level, it accepts students from the Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science.

Mitsunori Fukuda, Professor

The Nuclear Matter Group is a lab that works at the Van de Graaff Experimental Facility on the Toyonaka Campus of Osaka University. According to its fiscal 2019 guide, the lab open house, titled "The Nuclear World Seen Through Accelerators," would show accelerators and experimental equipment that are not normally open to view. The lab's website says that anyone who wishes to pursue a graduation research project, or research in a master's or doctoral program, should contact Professor Mitsunori Fukuda. The website's content dates from around fiscal 2019, and no page introducing the lab's research themes has been found.

Masayori Suwa, Lecturer

The Analytical Chemistry Lab develops separation and measurement methods based on new principles, with the aim of opening new frontiers in analytical chemistry. In living organisms and the environment, most molecules exist as aggregates or microparticles, and the major reactions take place at interfaces. The lab aims to develop microspectroscopy to study these interfacial reactions and methods that use electric and magnetic fields to separate microparticles one by one, and to establish methods for investigating the structure of chiral molecules.

Yoshitaka Kasamatsu, Professor

The Radiochemistry Lab studies the chemistry of heavy elements such as the actinides, and the effect that the state of electrons has on the decay of atomic nuclei. To observe the peculiarities of electrons in heavy elements, the lab also carries out relativistic quantum chemical calculations. It also investigates the production of radioisotopes used in cancer diagnosis and treatment, as well as the fundamental properties of the elements involved. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kasamatsu Lab."

Naoto Ishikawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Inorganic Chemistry Lab aims to open up a new research field: molecular magnetic materials with diverse forms of spin. Compounds containing metal ions, such as metal complexes, can have unpaired electrons within the molecule, and these unpaired electrons carry magnetic moments that give rise to magnetism. Atomic nuclei also each have their own characteristic magnetic moment, and these interact with one another to create complex quantum states. By controlling these interactions, the lab aims to create compounds with new functions and properties.
