Physics is the science that studies the simplest and
most general regularities underlying natural phenomena. It deals
with the fundamental questions on the properties and structure of
matter, the laws governing the motion of matter, and the origin of
the universe. Therefore, its concepts and laws constitute the basis
of all the natural science. Furthermore, physics forms the
foundation for the most important area of modern technology
including electrical engineering, optical communication,
nano-technology, soft materials, etc. Now, scientists in many
countries are exploring new frontiers in physics such as structure
of the Galaxy, complex system, and life system. Let's challenge
resolving mysteries in nature together with us. The students who love
physics are welcome.
The major research fields of Department
of Physics in Yamaguchi University are Elementary particles,
Cosmology, Astrophysics, Low temperature physics, strongly
correlated Fermions, Polymer materials, Magnetism and rare earth
metal compounds, Ferroelectrics, ferroelastics and related
materials, and Incommensurate phases and structural transitions in
dielectric crystals.
