Welcome to Ohtomo Group

In our laboratory, we are studying solid-state chemistry and solid-state physics to understand epitaxial growth of thin-film materials and emergent phenomena inaccessible in bulk materials. Toward the creation of innovative devices useful for next-generation information society and creative/energy-saving technologies, our approaches are based on “chemistry for the devices”, meaning synthesis of new thin-film materials, mainly metal oxides, elucidation of epitaxial growth mechanism, and search for new functions.

Paper Award of the JSAP Superconductors Division

Paper Award of the JSAP Superconductors Division 2023.3.24 The paper “p-type transparent superconductivity in a layered oxide” by Assist. Prof. Soma, former Assist. Prof. Yoshimatsu (currently lecturer at Tohoku Univ.), and Prof. Ohtomo has been selected for the 14th Paper Award of the Japan Society of Applied Physics Superconductors Division. https://annex.jsap.or.jp/support/division/super/commendation.html

A highlighted paper: JJAP 2022 Spotlights

2022.10.10 A paper published by our graduate student Mr. Uchida (2022 Ms. Eng.) as the first author and Assistant Professor Dr. Soma as the corresponding author has been selected for the 2022 Spotlights of the Japanese Journal of Applied Physics. The Japanese Journal of Applied Physics is an international journal of the Japan Society of Applied Physics (IOP Publishing), in which members of our laboratory regularly participate. The role of Spotlights is to “select and suggest a small number of articles with a high potential for capturing the interest of researchers in the applied physics community.” Access is free upon the selection, so if you are interested, please take a…
