Mission

Effects of high magnetic fields on solid/solid phase transformation behavior and structures have been investigated to clarify the transformation mechanism, improve physical properties of materials and to develop new materials.

(a) Elongated and aligned structure	(b) Phase diagram in magnetic fields
(c) Increase of transformation temperatures

Technical Characteristic

Heat treatments at high temperatures in high magnetic fields
Heat treatments at high temperatures in high magnetic fields can be applied to the materials to obtain new structures.
