The Spintronics Lab aims to realize spintronics, a new kind of electronics that uses electron spin. Conventional electronics has used only the electric charge of electrons, but it is expected that using spin as well will make more highly functional devices possible. The lab makes dilute magnetic semiconductors, which are semiconductors mixed with a small amount of magnetic atoms, by methods such as molecular beam epitaxy, and investigates their properties. Research is mainly experimental, proceeding from sample fabrication to measurement, analysis, and reporting at the lab seminar.

The Organic Semiconductor Physics and Engineering Lab fabricates electronic devices using organic and inorganic semiconductors and studies what happens inside them. It makes electronic devices such as solar cells, light-emitting devices (such as organic EL), and transistors, and investigates them by combining electrical conduction and optical measurements with electron spin resonance (ESR). The lab works at the molecular and atomic level to control and improve device performance and to elucidate how devices operate and degrade. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Marumoto-Okamoto Lab."

The Computational Materials Science Lab studies the electron transport properties of organic semiconductors, nanocarbon systems, and other materials through computer calculations based on quantum theory. The lab has developed the time-dependent wavepacket diffusion method, a large-scale calculation method that can calculate electric current and heat flow in nano- to micron-scale systems starting from an atomic and molecular picture. Because this method can handle assemblies of nearly 100 million atoms and molecules at room temperature, it has the advantage that its results can be compared quantitatively with experiments. The lab carries out its research in cooperation with the theory group of the Research Center for Organic-Inorganic Quantum Spin Science and Technology.

The Functional Metallic Materials Lab develops biomedical shape memory alloys, superelastic alloys, and low-Young's-modulus alloys, aiming at medical and industrial applications. Using experimental and computational data together with machine learning, the lab searches for new alloy compositions that show the desired functions, and for guidelines for materials design. The lab works consistently from fabricating alloys, through evaluating their mechanical and functional properties, to analyzing their atomic-level microstructure with electron microscopy. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Kim-Ko Lab."

In the field of metal physics and materials, the Nano Metallic Materials Lab studies the physical properties of metallic materials with nanostructures. The Researcher Directory lists metal physics, surfaces and interfaces, and nanostructured materials as its research keywords. Its recent presentations cover high-entropy alloys, amorphous alloys, silver nanoparticles, and more. The lab's website introduces it as the "Tanimoto Lab."

Since fiscal 2025, the Inorganic Energy and Environmental Materials Lab has shifted from an experimental science lab to a computational science lab. It no longer conducts experiments and now operates as a computational science lab. The lab performs first-principles calculations on cathode and anode materials for batteries to elucidate their physical properties. Its experimental research ended at the end of November 2025, and most of the experimental equipment has been cleared away. The lab's website introduces it as the "Suzuki Lab."

The Quantum Solid State Physics Lab aims to develop quantum materials from the perspectives of topology and strong correlation, and to open up new electronics and quantum functionality. Quantum materials are materials in which the quantum-mechanical properties of electrons show up in their physical properties; superconductors are one example. In addition to synthesizing transition metal compounds and precisely measuring their properties, the lab aims to explore new electronic, magnetic, and optical properties using terahertz and infrared spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray scattering. Lab tours are accepted at any time.

The Iron and Steel Materials Lab (Koyano Lab) studies iron and steel materials, including nitrogen steel, which is iron with nitrogen added. As the only iron and steel materials lab at the University of Tsukuba, it has four keywords: nitrogen, high magnetic fields, low temperatures, and collaborative research. The lab is part of the Cryogenics Division of the Research Facility Center for Science and Technology, and it carries out its research using the division's low-temperature measurement equipment and gas-related facilities and expertise. The lab accepts graduate students only if they are fluent in Japanese, have earned credits in solid-state physics and quantum mechanics, and come from a materials-related department.

The Crystal Physics Lab uses quantum beams to study the crystal structures and magnetic structures of various alloys, mainly multicomponent ordered alloys. The lab aims to explain the unusual physical phenomena that these materials show from a structural point of view. Its research themes fall into three areas: alloys and metals, organic-inorganic hybrid compounds, and oligosaccharides. Since fiscal 2023, the lab has been in charge of the management and development of FONDER, a neutron four-circle diffractometer at JRR-3, the research reactor of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency.

The Superconductivity Physics and Engineering Lab conducts broad research on superconductors, from their fundamental properties to their applications. Its current work centers on developing terahertz-wave devices that use single crystals of the high-temperature superconductor Bi2212. The lab carries out this research in collaboration with the Minami Lab, which belongs to the same Materials Physics and Engineering major. The lab invites anyone interested in device fabrication, crystal growth, materials synthesis, or measurement of fundamental properties to get in touch.
