About us
Kanazawa Laboratory is a new research group established in April 2023 at the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo. Our group pursues new electronic states at quantum materials surface. In particular, we fabricate their interfaces with a wide variety of materials in solid, liquid and gaseous states to design nonequilibrium and nonlinear phenomena arising from the exchange not only of particles like electrons, atoms and molecules but also of physical quantities like spin momenta, information and energy. We aim to establish the science of quantum materials interface that enables the interdisciplinary integration of material-information-life phenomena. On that basis, we will also contribute to the realization of Green Transformation (GX) technology. Research activities will be conducted through thin-film synthesis, nanodevice fabrication, characterization and device implementation using first-principles calculations and machine learning, and collaborative experiments at domestic and overseas large facilities.
