Thanks for your interest on our group!
i. Introduction
Our primary purpose is discovery of unknown new materials. This new materials denote bulk crystalline in scale, and are composed of lattices, and electrons with spin state, and are showing high-temperature superconductivity or thermoelectric generation. We believe that such discovery will contribute the world-wide energy-saving. Hence we are doing research on bulk materials experimentally and/or theoretically. Today, researchers are making rapid progress of condensed matters physics. It is very tough work for us to follow up to the rapid progress, whereas such a tough work is essential to give solutions for sustainable energy issues.
Staffs and students learn, often guide, advances of materials physics and chemistry with reliable knowledge. Our laboratories are in 23-building, Yagami campus, Hiyoshi, Yokohama.
If you are interested in our laboratories, please check the admissions' office for international stutdents program (IGP).
For application as a graduate students, you should prepare GRE scores and English scores (TOEFL) before application period.
ii. Fundamental education, required for undergraduate students
Electric circuit, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, mathematics for applied physics (linear algebra, vector Analysis, maps, algebraic differential equation, difference method, Fourier transform, Euler's formula, complex analysis, Laplace transform, etc)
In our laboratory, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and "cutting, sanding, drilling using Lathe, or deformation, facing" are very important.
iii. Message for Junior
We hope students to be learn electronic physics of solids and control theory.
Lectures including "SOLID STATE PHYSICS", "MAGNETICS", "QUANTUM MECHANICS", and "NUMERICAL METHODS" relate our research directly.
iv. Comment on studying & researches in Master course and Ph.D programs
"INDEPENDENT STUDY ON FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY" in Master program.
In our laboratory, students are required to learn phase stability of crystallographic phases based on structural relaxation, ab initio electronic phase characterizaton using density functional theory (DFT), modeling of phase equilibrium. Further, high resolution X-ray diffraction for crystallographic structure refinement, qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis, phase control using extreme condition (e. g. High temperature, high pressurre), transport measurement at lower & higher temperatures are essential for experimental approach.
Students are examined for their oral/poster presentations and documentation, which are based on their reasonable research project and preliminary experimental and/or theoretical results good enough for criterion as professional engineer or scientist.
"GRADUATE RESEARCH ON FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY"
(1 for Master program, 2 for Ph.D program)
Based on The "INDEPENDENT STUDY ON FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY" or higher independent study and research plan, students are required to complete each research plan using advanced technologies and science.
Research theme should be original, logical and good enough for contributing to scientific and industrial communities.
v. Comments on today's materials science.
Contrary to what undergraduate students might think, reasoning & estimation using statical learning are introduced in variety of techniques and planning for researches in material science. Such a game-changing situation tempts us to reconstruct old techniques and acquire new approach possessing fundamental science and technology. Since "Materials Genome Initiative" from White House, revolutionary science and competition opend among world wide scientist.
In our group, a student has to improve together through rivalry encouraging each other, for our keeping sustainable society.
