Properties of Structural and Functional Materials

Lattice Defects and Crystal Plasticity Area (Yasuda Laboratory)

Our research centers on two keywords: “crystal structures” and “material properties”. We evaluate, analyze, and control materials from microscopic and macroscopic points of view to develop advanced materials possessing novel structures and functions. Specifically, we evaluate and improve the mechanical and functional properties of novel materials such as intermetallic compounds, ceramics, and amorphous materials. Simultaneously, we elucidate the mechanisms responsible for deformation and fracturing from microscopic and macroscopic viewpoints and develop novel functional materials. Tissue engineering and biomaterials development are within the scope of our research because we apply methods to control materials developed in the field of materials engineering to identify the structures and characteristics of as-yet-unknown materials.
