Akira Ozawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Low-Energy Nuclear Group (Ozawa Lab) uses accelerators to study cosmic nucleosynthesis and the nuclear structure of unstable nuclei. Experiments use the tandem accelerator at the University of Tsukuba as well as large accelerator facilities such as the Institute for Quantum Medical Science in Chiba Prefecture and RIKEN in Saitama Prefecture. The lab says that the reward of its work lies in being able to understand everything from developing measurement instruments to conducting experiments and analyzing data. The lab invites anyone with even a slight interest in unstable nuclei or instrument development to drop by.

The Applied Accelerator Division (UTTAC) belongs to the Research Center for Radiation, Isotopes, and Earth System Sciences at the University of Tsukuba. The website publishes the experiment schedules for the 6 MV tandem accelerator and the 1 MV Tandetron, along with separate usage guides for users from outside the university and from within it. The research fields page lists accelerator science, accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), low-energy nuclear experiments, PIXE analysis applications, positron annihilation experiments, and more. The division's website includes information on multiple labs, and Associate Professor Kimikazu Sasa is named for accelerator science, accelerator mass spectrometry, and PIXE analysis applications.
Akinobu Kanda, Professor

Kanda Lab studies the behavior of quantum particles confined in mesoscopic systems, ranging in size from submicron to nanometer scale, through electrical conduction and other measurements. In such systems, quantum mechanical effects appear clearly, and applications to future nanodevices are expected. Both graduate and undergraduate students carry out the entire process, from preparing samples with the latest microfabrication techniques to measuring electrical conduction at extremely low temperatures. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kanda-Morishita Lab."
Yutaka Moritomo, Professor

Moritomo Lab is a lab that puts energy harvesting based on condensed matter physics at the center of its work. The lab's news section covers recent topics on thermoelectric conversion cells, and also lists past results and projects on organic solar cells, polymer batteries, and tertiary batteries. A video introducing the lab's research in English is also available.
Eiji Nishibori, Professor
0 student voices
Nishibori Lab studies the structure of matter using advanced high-energy light sources such as synchrotron radiation. The functions and properties of materials are closely tied to how atoms and molecules are arranged. Based on X-ray structure analysis, the lab studies this relationship in fields such as structural condensed matter physics and structural biology. The lab is also developing measurement methods using diffractometers at the large synchrotron radiation facility SPring-8, as well as the maximum entropy method, which visualizes charge density distributions from diffraction data. The lab belongs to the Tsukuba Research Center for Energy Materials Science (TREMS) at the University of Tsukuba.
Michio Ikezawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Masumoto-Ikezawa Lab studies the optical properties of semiconductors a few nanometers in size (semiconductor quantum structures) using laser spectroscopy. At this size, the wave-like and particle-like nature of electrons, that is, their quantum nature, becomes pronounced, and the electronic properties of solids differ greatly from those at macroscopic sizes. Using femtosecond and picosecond lasers, the lab follows how phenomena change over time and how they differ in energy, aiming to discover new phenomena and properties. The lab operates as the experimental condensed matter physics Nanophotonics Group at the University of Tsukuba.
Atsushi Kubo, Lecturer

The Nanophotonics Lab (Kubo Lab) studies the ultrafast dynamics, and the temporal and spatial structure, of surface plasmon polaritons, electromagnetic waves that propagate along metal surfaces. A surface plasmon polariton is an electromagnetic wave in which light is coupled with collective oscillations of free electrons in the metal. It is characterized by the electromagnetic field being localized at the interface between a metal and a dielectric. The lab combines femtosecond laser pulses with metal nanostructures to create wave packets, and directly observes their propagation and interference using time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy and two-photon fluorescence microscopy. Working on femtosecond time scales and nano- to micrometer length scales, the lab explores new physics of light-matter interaction through both experiment and theory.
Shintaro Nomura, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Optical Nanophysics Lab (Nomura Lab) uses advanced optical methods to study new physical properties and nanodevices based on structures on the scale of nanometers. The lab controls light with laser technology and nano-optics, sends that light into the electron system inside a nanostructure, and manipulates the electronic states. Conversely, it can also learn the properties of the electron system by examining the light that comes out of it. This research is expected to lead to applications that require ultra-low power consumption, such as optical sensors, optical switches, light-emitting devices, and quantum computers.

The Microwave Quantum Optics Lab in the Frontier Materials Physics Division is a lab whose research field is microwave quantum optics. It is a cooperative graduate school lab of the Physics Degree Program in the Degree Programs in Pure and Applied Sciences, and is led by Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, a cooperative graduate school faculty member.
Haruhiko Himura, Professor

At the Plasma Research Center of the University of Tsukuba, the Plasma Physics Group works on fusion research that confines plasma using mirror magnetic fields. Its main device is GAMMA 10/PDX, the world's largest tandem-mirror plasma confinement device, with a total length of 27 m. To make an ultra-high-temperature plasma compatible with the wall that receives it, the lab studies how to control the plasma in the boundary region between the two, as well as plasma-wall interactions. The lab is also developing gyrotrons, which are microwave oscillator tubes, and building Pilot GAMMA PDX-SC, a new device that uses superconducting coils.
