Functional Magnetic Materials Research Group

Powders synthesized by chemical process can exhibit unique properties not found in the powders produced by milling process. We are working on development of high-performance magnetic materials through development of new synthesis processes and elucidation of the mechanism of their unique magnetic properties.

We are working on development of thermal management materials, such as magnetic refrigeration (magnetic heat pump) materials, thermoelectric conversion materials, solid thermal storage materials. Through the development of materials, we aim to realize thermal circular economy system.
