This division is organized to pursue the study of physical
properties of condensed matters under extreme conditions such as ultra-low
temperatures, ultra-high pressures combined with steady high magnetic fields
up to 20 T. In addition to these individual extreme conditions, physics
under multiple extreme conditions is also emphasized. Under these conditions,
novel phenomena, which cannot be understood in terms of existing theories
and thus stimulate the creation of new concepts, are expected. Discoveries
of such phenomena have often opened up new horizons in material science.
Many outstanding instruments developed in this division, for example, are
those which produce low temperatures down to a few tens of µK, high
pressures up to 10 GPa and high speed rotation of cryostats at over 6
rad/sec. These machines are frequently used in collaboration with many
scientists from all over Japan and abroad. Some of the main subjects are
as follows,
- Low dimensional quantum solid and liquid under ultra-low temperatures and
high magnetic fields.
- Liquid He in confined geometries under rotation, a possible supersolid
4He.
- Low dimensional or mesoscopic systems such as organic or semi conductors
under ultra high magnetic fields.
- Strongly correlated heavy electron systems such as magnetic
compounds or superconductors uder multiple extreme conditions.
