Exploratory Materials Team
We try to synthesize/explore novel materials that exhibit gigantic cross-correlation response in a bulk form. We also investigate fundamental properties of these materials to construct a microscopic theoretical framework by clarifying the details of cross correlation response.
- Gigantic cross-correlation response in charge-spin-orbital odered systems
- Ferroelectricity induced by magnetism
- Exploration of novel thermoelectric materials
- Exploration of novel magnetocaloric materials
- Exploration of novel superconductor
