Research Interests

We research atomic physics and condensed matter physics using a quantum beam like an ion beam and synchrotron radiation. In ion beam experiments, we investigate the structure of atoms by focusing on the electron exchange that occurs between incident ions and target atoms, which is called the electron exchange reaction that occurs during atomic collisions. Meanwhile, in experiments using synchrotron radiation, we are using techniques such as photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism to study surface magnetism and novel electronic states resulting from symmetry breaking.

Message for Students

Dream about your future, the bigger the better. Even if goal seems difficult at first glance, if you don’t give up and keep working hard, you will surely be getting closer to your dream, one step at a time, even if it is a roundabout way. The moment you give up on a dream, it turns into disappointment and becomes a fleeting dream, but as long as you continue to pursue it without giving up, it will remain a goal called hope. Only those who can keep working hard until their dreams come true can make their dreams come true. So keep on dreaming of your goal. Would you like to take the first step towards your dream with us?
