RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science Emergent Functional Magnetic Materials Research Unit
Unit Leader: Kosuke Karube (Ph.D.)
Research Summary
Our unit aims to develop new magnetic materials with topological functions and high-performance magnetic functions based on materials synthesis. We will develop topological magnetic materials and ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic materials in intermetallic and oxide compounds and elucidate their magnetic structures and topological properties through various measurement techniques such as magnetometry, scanning probe microscopy, and neutron scattering.
