Chemical Crystallography/Solid-State Chemistry

To become an excellent scientist, researcher and/or engineer: Important points for a graduate student are (1) to make their research plans by himself or herself, (2) to carry out their research by himself or herself and (3) to publish papers in high-impact journals and to present his or her works in international conferences. To accomplish these important tasks, Prof. Yashima and his laboratory are doing best. In the laboratory seminar, we are doing the literature and research reports. The fruitful discussion among students and professors is often done. The research report is done once two weeks in English. All the graduate students are doing best to obtain good results and to publish them in high-impact journals and to present their research results in international and domestic conferences. To obtain high-quality neutron and synchrotron powder diffraction data, we are often utilizing advanced and large facilities such as JRR-3M research reactor (Figures 1(b) and 1(d)), J-Parc, photon factory (PF, Figure 1(a)), and SPring-8. A graduate student has his/her own research project. In the neutron and synchrotron experiments, all the students are cooperating. Our research of accurate structure analysis is based on (1) preparation of high-purity samples, (2) experiments and measurements, (3) analysis of the data and (4) computer simulation. Research results by students are sometimes reported by the newspapers. Students won various awards (Best Poster Award in 3rd International Congress of Ceramics, Best Poster Award of the Crystallographic Society of Japan, Best presentation award in the department of Materials Science and Engineering). We like the after-hours drinking party to improve the interpersonal communication (once or twice three months).
