Materials in this world is composed of 10²³nuclei and electrons interacting with each other. The complex interplay of various factors such as the types of constituent elements, differences in the geometric structure of crystals, and Coulomb interaction between electrons and spin-orbit coupling give rise to the diverse properties of materials. Metals, insulators, magnets, and superconductors are typical examples.
I am studying such diverse properties and phenomena of materials using theoretical methods such as DFT calculations that incorporate the fundamental elements of real materials and electronic multipole theory that describes electronic states in materials. I am also developing new computational methods for analyzing electronic properties in materials. Through these studies, I aim to explore new electronic states and response phenomena, and to create a new trend in condensed matter physics in the future.
