Overview of Research Group, Goals and Purposes:

Recent development of nanospectroscopic imaging technique using synchrotron radiation (SR) has been remarkable and has made great progress. Since SR offers us high brilliance, energy tenability, polarization and pulsivity, the technique is a recent trend of investigations for advanced sciencific fields. It allow us to study a variety of materials including fundmental materials science, industrial applications, the planetary science and so on. The aim of our research group is to advance "Nanoscience using spectro-microscopy" and to exchange number of valuable information and knowhow concerning to this scientific field. Our goal is not only advancing the microscopic imaging but also developing new methods such as three-dimensional stereo-microscope and time-resolved spectro-microscope in the wide photon energy range from infrared to hard-x-ray regions. Development of ultra-brilliant technique for future applications using SPring-8II and SACLA is also considered.

In the fourth term we are trying to find potential power users in the field of life science and surface chemistry, materials informatics. Main members have started a big project called as 3D active site supported by grant in aid for creative scientific research. Strong collaboration with them will bring about the empowerment in this academic and scientific field. We try to make a strong international relationship and to exchange the idea and personnel with other worldwide SR communities. We organize workshops every year. We will collect the demands from users to SPring-8.
