Introduction of Research
Uranium compounds are a group of materials that have received much attention as a platform for interesting physical phenomena, such as the coexistence of magnetism and superconductivity and hidden order. However, exploration of new uranium compounds still leaves a large unexplored regions, with the potential to reveal further novel physical phenomena.
In our laboratory, we are exploring new uranium compounds and performing microscopic experiments using quantum beams (synchrotron radiation X-rays and neutrons) to investigate the 5f electronic state, which is the key to understanding the physical properties of uranium compounds.
