The Environmental Semiconductors and Magnetic Materials Lab aims to create devices with new functions from semiconductors and magnetic materials made of abundant elements. For semiconductors, the lab works with BaSi2 and Group 14 semiconductors made of carbon, silicon, germanium, and tin; for magnetic materials, it works with Fe4N, Co4N, and Mn4N. Its research covers a wide range, from crystal growth (making the materials) and property evaluation to device design, fabrication, and evaluation, as well as first-principles calculations. The lab is distinctive for its well-equipped facilities for making semiconductor thin films and for handling both semiconductors and magnetic materials in the same lab.

The Theoretical Materials Science Lab studies first-principles calculations, which determine the structure and electronic states of materials using only fundamental physical constants. In particular, the lab works on developing calculation methods that incorporate relativistic effects, which are needed to calculate materials containing heavy elements. The research topics also include the structure and electronic states of ferromagnetic thin films and actinide compounds. The lab's website distributes RF-1.5, a first-principles calculation program.
Hiroyasu Koizumi, Associate Professor

The Quantum Properties and Molecular Theory Lab is a theoretical lab whose research keywords are cuprate superconductors and quantum computers. Using quantum mechanical theory, the lab investigates the currents that flow in superconductors, the phase transition between the superconducting and normal states, and related phenomena. The lab also studies whether the spin-vortex-induced loop current that appears in thin films of cuprates can be used as a qubit. The lab's website goes by the name "KOIZUMI LAB," and the site shows the Center for Computational Sciences.
Hiroshi Yamagishi, Associate Professor

The Chemical Life Lab (Yamagishi Lab) combines organic chemistry with photophysics and molecular biology to study materials that lie between life and matter. The lab aims to create the simple molecules that were used when life began. It also studies molecular machines that measure health conditions inside the body, and soft laser devices that move like living organisms.
Takahiro Kondo, Professor

The Nanomaterials Chemistry Lab (Kondo-Oki Lab) studies new substances and materials to solve problems of resources, energy, and the environment. A carbon-neutral society requires renewable energy and the use of hydrogen obtained by electrolyzing water, and new materials such as high-performance catalysts are important. The lab focuses on hydrogen boride sheets, made of boron and hydrogen, and boron sulfide sheets, made of boron and sulfur, both of which the lab was the first in the world to create.

The Plasma Physics and Engineering Lab studies fusion plasma using the GAMMA 10/PDX tandem mirror device at the Plasma Research Center, University of Tsukuba. One of the major challenges in realizing a fusion reactor is making a plasma at 100 million degrees compatible with the room-temperature wall surrounding it. At the center, the lab works on controlling the edge plasma between the core and the wall, and on developing the gyrotron, a high-power microwave oscillator tube. GAMMA 10/PDX is 27 m long and is the world's largest tandem mirror plasma confinement device.

The Hydrogen Quantum Atomics Lab (Sekiba Lab) works on developing advanced ion beam analysis methods for detecting hydrogen. Research includes developing the instruments themselves, and each student takes responsibility for carrying out their own research theme. One example is a study that uses ion beams to determine where and how much Li is present inside an all-solid-state Li-ion battery. Above all, the lab values themes and methods that are unique and one-of-a-kind.
Shigeo Tomita, Associate Professor

The Ion Beam Applications Lab investigates the complex phenomena that occur when fast ions produced by an accelerator strike a target, starting from the elementary process of atomic collisions. The lab develops new irradiation effects and detection techniques using ion beams, with the aim of applying them to mass spectrometry, materials analysis, and atomic and molecular reaction experiments. Experiments use accelerators at the Research Facility Center for Science and Technology at the University of Tsukuba, as well as equipment at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK). The lab's website also introduces it under the name "Tomita Lab."

The X-ray Imaging Optics Lab (Watanabe Lab) conducts research on developing X-ray microscopes. It uses optical elements for forming images with X-rays, such as zone plates and Wolter mirrors. The lab also works on imaging the state of a sample by phase contrast and observing it in three dimensions. In the graduate school, the lab is listed under the field of Bio-Medical Engineering in the Electronic and Physical Engineering Subprogram of the Degree Program in Applied Physics and Engineering.
Tetsuya Makimura, Associate Professor

The Makimura Lab studies the interaction between light and matter, and the microfabrication that applies it. In particular, it focuses on research into directly processing materials with light at wavelengths of around 10 nm (extreme ultraviolet light and soft X-rays). This processing method is expected to serve as a practical way to fabricate chemical analysis and chemical synthesis devices that handle extremely small sample volumes, and is also expected to contribute to biotechnology and chemistry.
