研究室紹介

Our research group advances materials science research and education through the exploration of interactions between quantum beams and matter. We engage in fundamental research to elucidate the atomic-level microstructure of nano-scale functional materials. Utilizing state-of-the-art electron microscopy for imaging, diffraction, and analysis at the Ultramicroscopy Research Center of Kyushu University, along with spectroscopy experiments at synchrotron radiation facilities, we investigate a wide range of materials, including catalytic materials, magnetic materials, battery materials, and so on. Quantum beams impart kinetic energy to atoms and electrons in materials, resulting in the formation of lattice defects. Additionally, we are dedicated to uncovering the atomic-scale structure of radiation-induced defects and understanding the mechanisms of microstructural evolution under irradiation, which is crucial for assessing the stability of nuclear materials.
