Team Leader: Yujiro Hayashi (D.Eng.)

Research Summary

Yujiro Hayashi (D.Eng.)

The SR Materials Science Instrumentation Team develops methods, instruments, and systems using high-energy brilliant x-rays above several tens of keV for materials science and industrial applications. Microstructures and stress-strain states in materials gradually change depending on environments. Because the mechanical behaviors of materials can lead to the degradation and damage of engineering materials and components, it is important to understand the materials behaviors for manufacturing industries. By developing the methods and instruments to non-destructively visualize microstructures, stress-strain states, and morphology inside engineering materials and components, we reveal the materials behaviors under real environments.
