Our research target is to identify the mechanism of materials functioning using X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS), X-ray microspectroscopy, and time-resolved XAFS and XRD. We have developed the more advanced and specialized analytical approaches in material science, especially in terms of multi-scale, multi-dimension, multi-modal, multi-beams and multi-materials.
Leader : Prof. Masao KIMURA
The Mater. Sci. Sec. operate facilities for materials science with the collaboration of the Photon Factory facility staff, including (a) five beamlines for XAFS: micro beam (BL-4A), high flux (BL-9A), in-situ (BL-9C), high throughput (BL-12C), and high energy (NW-10A), (b) four specialized ones: multi-modal imaging (BL-15A1), scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) (BL-19A/B), dynamic XAFS and X-ray microspectroscopy (NW-2A), dynamic XRD and XAFS (NW-14A) and (c) in-house apparatus such as X-CT and XRD.

We have developed the more advanced and specialized analytical approaches in material science, especially in terms of multi-scale, multi-dimension, multi-modal, multi-beams and multi-materials. Thus, in Mater. Sci. Sec. we target scientific fields of our interests in terms of (1) heterogeneity, (2) surface/interface, and (3) dynamics, in order to presenting the best use of these facilities as well as scientific-interest-driven. We have tried to start or join various type of national projects or cooperative research with private companies not only to get funding but also to build human and scientific-network nation- and worldwide.
