Quantum-Mechanical Computational Materials Science |
Our aim is to clarify and predict the materials properties and functions by using first-principles quantum-mechanical simulation techniques, with special interests on dynamical processes on solid surfaces and exotic properties of nano-scale materials such as quantum transport and nano-catalysis. Efficient and reliable simulations techniques based on quantum mechanics have been also developed in our laboratory.

Materials Synthesis via Soft-chemical Processings |
Synthesis of functional nanosheets as a new class of nanomaterials and organization of the nanosheets as a building block into
nanostructured integrated systems with a sophisticated function.
Particular attention is focused on the development of new materials with
efficient photocatalytic properties, energy-conversion capabilities, and
gigantic magneto-optical functions.

Theory for strongly correlated systems |
Material design and multifunction are the main trends in materials science. In order to achieve this goal, we engage in establishing new condensed-matter physics which treats many-body quantum systems in high accuracy. Current topics cover spin-orbit-charge interacting systems and superconductivity.

Synthesis, property and analysis of new nanotubes |
We intend to explore and synthesize new nanotubes and nanowires and to
characterize their specific structures by using modern analytical transmission
electron microscopy. Special attention will be paid to production of semiconducting
boron nitride, silicon and other nanotubes to clarify their thermal, electrical
and mechanical properties.
