Shuichi Nakamura, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nakamura Lab studies how microorganisms such as bacteria move in tiny fluid environments dominated by viscosity and thermal fluctuations. Its main subject is the flagellum, a rotary molecular motor 45 nanometers in diameter that drives bacterial movement. Using high-precision imaging and optical tweezers, among other techniques, the lab investigates microscale energy conversion, synchronization phenomena, and the mechanical properties of cells. The lab also studies infection by pathogenic bacteria using AI-based image analysis.
Madoka Ono, Professor

The Ono Lab studies materials for generating and transmitting photonic quantum states used in applications such as quantum cryptographic communication. Its main subject is glass. Because glass has a random structure, it is less prone to features such as grain boundaries that scatter light, which makes it well suited to manipulating light. The lab creates materials with new optical functions by suppressing fluctuations of the structure inside materials or, conversely, deliberately inducing them. It is a new lab that started in April 2023.

The High Field Laboratory for Superconducting Materials (Awaji Lab) advances research on high magnetic fields using advanced superconducting materials and cryogen-free superconducting magnet technology. It is an affiliated facility of the Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University, and serves as a base for fundamental and applied research on new substances and materials, including magnetic materials and superconductors. Equipped with high-field devices such as hybrid magnets and cryogen-free superconducting magnets, as well as experimental equipment for investigating substances and materials in high magnetic fields, it makes them available for joint use by users both inside and outside the institute. The center states that cryogen-free superconducting magnets will play an important role in addressing the helium depletion problem and realizing a low-carbon society.
Satoshi Okamoto, Professor

The Okamoto Lab focuses its research on understanding and controlling magnetic functions at the nanoscale. Ferromagnets are widely used in information and communications, electronic components, motors, and generators, and the diverse functions of these magnetic devices all arise from spin behavior at the nanoscale. A recording technology that controls spin behavior in the microwave frequency range is expected to dramatically increase the recording density of hard disks. The lab also studies methods for controlling the magnetization state at particle surfaces in permanent magnet materials, which are essential for high-performance motors in electric vehicles.
Susumu Yamamoto, Associate Professor

The lab, known as the Synchrotron Nanostructure Visualization research field, uses synchrotron X-rays to visualize the state of electrons in materials at the nanoscale. Its goal is to establish design guidelines for developing materials with new functions. The lab independently develops measurement technologies and analysis methods that take advantage of the properties of synchrotron X-rays, and applies them to a wide range of new functional materials, from hard materials to soft matter. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Takata Lab."
Masahiko Takahashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Takahashi Lab (Quantum Electron Science research field) conducts research that experimentally observes the wave functions of isolated molecules in the gas phase. Using electron momentum spectroscopy, which uses the scattering of high-speed electrons, the lab observes in momentum space the shapes of molecular orbitals, which determine the reactivity and functions of molecules. The lab also studies molecules in the middle of chemical reactions and the three-dimensional behavior of electrons when they collide with molecules. Its goals are original research in molecular science and the training of students and young researchers who will lead the next generation.
Shigefusa Chichibu, Professor
0 student voices
The Chichibu Lab (Quantum Optoelectronics Division) studies the physical properties of wide-bandgap compound semiconductors. The wide-bandgap compound semiconductors under study are expected to be applied to deep-ultraviolet light-emitting devices and to polariton lasers, which combine the functions of light and excitons. The lab can carry out everything from crystal growth and processing to prototype device fabrication, and has many instruments for optical characterization. The lab belongs to the Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials, Tohoku University, and is a cooperative laboratory of the Department of Applied Physics, Graduate School of Engineering.
Shigemi Mizukami, Professor

The Spintronics Materials Lab studies materials and devices involving magnetism (spin). Focusing on how spin relates to charge, light, and quantum phenomena respectively, the lab covers everything from device materials to new measurement techniques. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Mizukami Lab."
Shimpei Ono, Professor
