Quantum Beam Diffraction Group
2023.10.05 Update
The first step towards an understanding why a material possesses a particular function is to probe its atomic arrangement. The mission of the quantum beam diffraction group is the development of measurement and data analysis techniques based on X-ray diffraction, using brilliant synchrotron radiation X-rays, as well as other quantum beam experimental methods. In addition, by introducing measurement informatics and artificial intelligence, we will realize high-throughput experiments and analysis, and build a database of the data obtained. Furthermore, we are making efforts for establishing a cyclic system of autonomous measurement, prediction, and material synthesis on the basis of new results: this could accelerate materials research substantially. Primary target systems range from crystalline to amorphous materials, extending as far as liquids.
