We are a research group dedicated to the discovery of composite-anion layered compounds that exhibit high‑temperature superconductivity, and to elucidating the correlations between chemical species, crystal structures, and their electronic and magnetic properties. By carefully observing the physics and functions of electrons, lattices, and defects in solids, we strive to develop cutting‑edge electronic materials.

Our primary purpose is discovery of new superconductors (e. g. MgB2, iron-based oxypnictide, cuparate). An approach to the purpose is improvements of sample synthesis procedures using solid state reaction & characterization of inorganic materials. We focus on a relation between crystallographic “local” structures (a factor of hyperfine structures) and electronic and/or magnetic structures of homogeneous crystals. This approach is the most reliable way to demonstrate new electronic materials.
