Structure and Dynamics of Materials Using Quantum Beams and Data-Driven Sciences

The aim of this research group is to investigate structure and dynamics of materials using quantum beam facilities in combination with data-driven sciences and computer simulations. Recent developments of quantum beam facilities, such as synchrotron radiation, x-ray free electron laser, and intense neutron sources, lead remarkable progresses in the quality of experimental data. In conjunction with them, new varieties of the data sets appear, such as two-dimensional images etc. and the corresponding data volumes explosively increase. The present task for researchers is how to extract scientifically valuable information from the experimental data of huge size in quantity but of still insufficient in quality. In this research unit, thus, we carry out state-of-art experiments such as scattering and imaging using quantum beam facilities, and analyze the data using, e.g., Inverse problem, Bayesian inference with Metropolis’ algorithm (reverse Monte Carlo modeling) and some others. Furthermore, the data-driven science such as Sparse modeling is a very promising tool for handling the data. To support the experimental results, first principles computer simulations are also indispensable.
