Research Areas

Our group aims at integrating and developing several fields of materials science, based on the notion of emergent phenomena and their control in many-body systems with multiple-degrees of freedom. The goal of this research is to establish materials functionalities for high-efficiency energy-conversion and low energy-consumption that are indispensable for the realization of a sustainable society. To this end, we attempt to produce highly efficient and gigantic materials-responses/phenomena that emerge from a large number of atoms/molecules/electrons interacting strongly with each other in a space of nano-meter scale, by coherently combining three important fields, namely, physics based on materials synthesis techniques and condensed matter theory, chemistry based on molecular design/element strategy, and quantum electronics utilizing nano-fabrication techniques.
