Biography
Properties of matters that emerge under ultrahigh magnetic fields are being studied. Ground state of matter can dramatically change by applying strong magnetic fields, since spin and kinetic motion of electrons are directly affected by magnetic field. Various kinds of novel phases are expected to emerge in the strong magnetic fields through the phenomena such as formation of nontrivial magnetic structure in low dimensional spin systems, exotic local-itinerant transition in transition metal compounds, and strong spin-lattice coupling in molecular solids. Recent discovery of the novel θ phase of solid oxygen at over around 120 T is a specific example of the field-induced novel phases; it realizes due to the field-induced structural phase transition from the low temperature antiferromagnetic α phase. At higher fields in the range of 1000 T, exploring unknown high-field ground sates in materials with strong interaction is possible, and hence, we have also been developing the techniques for generation of the ultrahigh magnetic fields as well as for various kinds of measurements at such ultrahigh fields.
