Outline
Complex electron systems are at the frontier of development of materials with novel electronic functions. We aim to explore the physics of such complex electron systems and to develop novel functionalities based on the concept of electronic phase and phase change. With the unified concept of complex electron systems, our materials exploration covers the range from transition metal compounds to molecular solids. Our targets include high-Tc superconductivity, high performance thermoelectric conversion and novel device functions. We are also constructing a basis for the design of functionalities through understanding of the microscopic nature of complex electrons.
Research Teams
