Research Areas

Complex electron systems are emerging as a new paradigm in materials physics and chemistry. In such systems, strongly correlated electrons in solids are combined with low dimensionality and/or geometrical frustrations, and produce a rich variety of electronic phases and functions. We will explore the novel properties and functions of complex electron systems, together with basic physics behind them. The playgrounds should be free from the existing boundary of materials, covering transition metal compounds, organic molecular solids, surfaces and interfaces.

Research Subject

  1. Theory of complex electron systems
  2. Design of new materials and functions in complex electron systems
  3. Advanced characterization probe for complex electron systems
