Overview

Condensed Matter Physics from Hokkaido University in the department covers a wide range of areas, including complex liquids, semi-conductors, high-Tc superconductors, organic molecular crystals and organic polymers, nano-materials, multiferroic materials, complex networks, electron correlations in quantum materials, thermally-, pressure-, and photo-induced phase transitions, glass transitions, magnetism, spin electronics, nonlinear optics and photovoltaic devices as well as many other topics.

Key facts

These studies not only provide us with a greater understanding of natural phenomena but can also lead to a discovery of novel functional materials. Condensed matter physics is thus one of the most important research fields for the progress in science and technology in our society.

These laboratories accept doctoral students from our department. The students can study physics and take part in research projects within the excellent environment at NIMS and RIKEN. Our department is further participating in an interdisciplinary education and research program provided by the “Center of Education & Research for Topological Science & Technology”. This program covers the fields of mathematics, condensed matter physics, astrophysics, material science, life science, information engineering and economics. Graduate students as well as young researchers from our department will find an opportunity to interact with the different fields and gain a new insight into their own projects.
