Growth of Halide Single Crystals
Halide perovskite single crystals are grown mainly by the Bridgman–Stockbarger method and by vapor-phase transport.

Research Topics
Optical Characterization
Luminescence and optical absorption are evaluated by photoluminescence, transmittance, and infrared absorption measurements.
Radiation-Detection Properties
Scintillation responses to neutrons and gamma rays are characterized with a view to applications in radiation detectors.
First-Principles Analysis of Inorganic Materials
Electronic-structure calculations using Quantum ESPRESSO and VASP are employed to clarify luminescence mechanisms and the origins of material properties.
Electronic-Structure Database
An electronic-structure database of inorganic materials is being constructed on the basis of first-principles calculations.
Analysis Software Development
Software for optical characterization and other research-support tools are developed in Python.
Facilities and Instruments
