Yuya Shimazaki, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Shimazaki Lab studies the electronic properties, optical responses, and quantum devices of heterostructures made by stacking semiconducting two-dimensional materials. In particular, it uses two-dimensional materials to design the strongly correlated electronic properties and quantum functionalities that electrons exhibit within moiré lattices, which arise from the interference of crystal lattices. Through precise electrical control and optical measurements, the lab reveals how these electrons behave. The lab conducts its research at the Institute for Solid State Physics, the University of Tokyo, and is also concurrently affiliated with the Department of Applied Physics in the Graduate School of Engineering.
Yoshiaki Sugimoto, Professor
Materials & Nanotech0 student voices
Sugimoto Lab conducts research using scanning probe microscopes, which can directly observe individual atoms. All matter is made of atoms, and its various properties are determined at the scale of nanometers, so techniques are needed to evaluate and control materials at the atomic level. The lab works on improving the resolution of microscopes, making it possible to measure the element and electronic state of individual atoms, and assembling nanostructures by moving atoms. By evaluating the properties of materials at the atomic scale and understanding the physics and chemistry behind them, the lab searches for new materials and devices based on new principles.
Yukitoshi Motome, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Motome Lab theoretically studies phase transitions and novel quantum properties caused by interactions among electrons moving inside materials. In "strongly correlated electron systems," where electrons repel each other strongly, a rich variety of properties appear that differ greatly from those of ordinary metals and semiconductors. Based on quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics, the lab combines first-principles calculations, model construction, and numerical simulation. Recently, the lab has also focused on developing methods that use machine learning and on condensed matter research.
Takahiro Sagawa, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
Sagawa-Funo Lab theoretically studies the area where physics meets information and computation. From the perspectives of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and quantum information and quantum control, the lab explores the ultimate limits of how well matter can be controlled. Its goal is to clarify what kinds of computation and information-processing capabilities matter possesses. Recently, the lab has taken an interest in the nonequilibrium dynamics of isolated quantum many-body systems and their capacity for quantum computation.
Masashi Kawasaki, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Kawasaki Lab studies how to precisely fabricate metal oxide thin films at the atomic level to create new properties and functions. Metal oxides possess a variety of giant physical properties, and the lab proposes "oxide electronics" to put them to use. Using a laser to instantly vaporize oxides, the lab stacks atoms layer by layer on a substrate to build a variety of artificial nanostructures. The lab works on quantum properties and their functionalization in systems such as zinc oxide thin films, topological materials, and magnetic skyrmions.
Tsuyoshi Kimura, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Kimura Lab studies new properties that arise when different orders in a material become intertwined, such as magnetism and dielectricity. The lab combines ferroic orders, which are classified by how symmetry is broken, and has named the phenomenon in which one order is converted into another "multiferroic conversion." Targeting a wide range of materials, including magnetic materials, metals, semiconductors, and dielectrics, the lab works on everything from material design and synthesis to the development of measurement techniques and experimental demonstration. A group in the lab was the first to demonstrate that applying an electric field to a ferroaxial material produces optical phenomena characteristic of chiral materials.
Max Hirschberger, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Hirschberger Lab experimentally studies quantum mechanical phenomena that emerge in solids. The lab grows its own crystals of materials in which quantum mechanical effects appear clearly, and investigates in particular how electricity and heat flow through them (transport properties). The lab uses neutron and X-ray scattering experiments at facilities in Japan and abroad, measurements under strong magnetic fields and at extremely low temperatures, and device fabrication with focused ion beams.
Takahisa Arima, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Arima-Tokunaga Lab develops solid-state materials that show large responses to magnetic and electric fields, and studies their properties experimentally. The lab explores materials in which electron spins form unusual arrangements or electrons are distributed in unusual ways, looking for interesting phenomena. Research proceeds by synthesizing target materials, examining the arrangement of electrons using synchrotron radiation and neutrons, and measuring whether the predicted phenomena actually occur.
Takuro Sato, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
Under the keyword "geometry in matter," Sato Lab studies new states formed by electrons and spins in solids, and the functions that arise from them. Building on the fundamentals of solid-state physics, and also drawing on perspectives from organic chemistry and device engineering, the lab aims to control geometric properties and discover intriguing physical phenomena. The professor and students work together on the question "What is truly new physics?" as they carry out their research.
Yukako Fujishiro, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Fujishiro Lab uses extreme environments such as ultra-high pressure to create quantum materials that no one has ever seen, and studies their properties. If the interactions between electrons can be controlled to a large degree, a material may transform into an entirely different quantum phase. The lab pursues its research on the idea that phenomena leading to next-generation low-power technologies may be hidden in unstable states that natural materials rarely adopt.
