RESEARCH

In the past, I have developed new superconductors in intermetallic compounds which a light element or 4f electron an important role in those physical properties.

In this project, we study the correlation between broken inversion symmetry and anomalous superconductivity through the development of new superconductors with broken inversion symmetry in the system including light elements or 4f electron.
