Research Summary

Tetsuo  Hanaguri(D.Eng.)

We experimentally study electronic states behind emergent phenomena in electron systems, such as high-temperature superconductivity and topological quantum phenomena. For this purpose, we use scanning tunneling microscopes working under combined extreme conditions of very low temperature, high magnetic field and ultra-high vacuum. Modern scanning-tunneling-microscopy technology enables us to obtain a “map of the electronic state” with atomic-scale spatial resolution and energy resolution as high as micro electron volt. We will make and analyze the maps of various materials and try to establish the relationships between material properties and electronic states. We also aim to improve and functionalize the scanning tunneling microscope and pursue the development of novel measurement techniques to discover new emergent phenomena in condensed matter.
