His research is experimental studies on new materials exhibiting regulated nanospaces such as zeolites, clathrates and so on, particularly those showing interesting magnetic, optical or conducting properties. He is synthesizing nanoclusters arrayed in periodic spaces of porous crystals such as zeolites and investigating their physical properties by using various experimental tools: optical spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, electron spin resonance, muon spin rotation/relaxation, neutron diffraction etc.
Nanoclusters arrayed in the periodic spaces of zeolite crystal.
Zeolite A loaded with potassium sealed in quartz tubes. The color systematically changes depending on the loading density (electron concentration), and is related to the electronic quantum levels of the potassium nanoclusters.
Muon spin rotation/relaxation experiment at Paul Scherrer Institute.
