I'm working on structural condensed matter physics. Origins of various properties of materials are examined from atomic arrangements, which are clarified by synchrotron x-ray diffraction. This approach to the condensed matter physics provides a bridging viewpoint between microscopic phenomena and macroscopic properties. I've studied various transition metal oxides, organic semiconductors, alloys, f-electron systems in the forms of single crystals, epitaxial films, or interfaces. Technically, I'm interested in superlattice reflections, diffuse scatterings, and surface scatterings.

Condensed matter physics based on structural information, this is what I'm interested in.
