History of our laboratory

A laboratory for the investigation of metallic magnetism was founded by Prof. Yoji Nakamura in Kyoto University in 1963. He managed the lab until his retirement in 1988.

After that, the lab was succeeded by Prof. Masayuki Shiga.

Now Prof. H. Nakamura continues the study of metallic magnetism after 2007 with academic staffs Y. Tabata and T. Waki.
