Research Summary
In our unit, we aim to investigate intriguing emergent phenomena in magnetic topological materials and strongly correlated electron system, with a particular emphasis on “extreme” conditions previously unattainable in earlier experiments. For instance, we employ microfabrication techniques on single crystalline quantum materials using focused ion beams. This enables us to (i) explore responses under ultra-high pressure, (ii) generate magnetization dynamics in spin textures through high-density currents, and (iii) manipulate carrier densities through ion intercalation. Through these innovative approaches, we aim to reveal new quantum phases and elucidate their electronic functionalities.
