Research
We are conducting basic research on the electrical, magnetic, optical properties of materials from an atomic-level microscopic perspective using quantum mechanics, in particular to elucidate the mechanisms of functional expression caused by the introduction of dilute dopants and/or defects, and to create new functional materials based on this knowledge.
In recent years, we have focused on the “interaction between light and matter” and are conducting advanced analyses such as X-ray and electron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation, as well as electronic state analysis using first-principles calculations, targeting rare-earth-free phosphors, upconversion phosphors, and next-generation solar cells using organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites.
