Rate My Professor Yoshikazu Mizuguchi

Yoshikazu Mizuguchi is Professor in the Department of Physics at Tokyo Metropolitan University. His research interests include the exploration of novel superconductors and functional materials in condensed matter physics. The missions of his research laboratory encompass the discovery of novel superconductors with a high critical temperature and/or unconventional properties, novel thermoelectric materials, and other functional materials to solve energy problems. The laboratory focuses on oxides, chalcogenides, pnictides, intermetallics, alloys, phase-separated materials, and compounds with a layered structure, investigating anomalous electronic states, phonons, thermal transport, or structural fluctuations. Research projects include exploration of new superconducting and thermoelectric materials, establishment of material design strategies for high critical temperature superconductivity or high thermoelectric performance, investigation of physical and structural properties of Fe-, Bi-, and Sn-based superconductors and thermoelectric materials, material development of anomalous thermal expansion materials, and magneto-thermal switching using superconductors and phase-separated materials. He has contributed to publications such as Superconductivity at 27K in tetragonal FeSe under high pressure (2008), Pressure evolution of the low-temperature crystal structure and bonding of the superconductor FeSe (2009), Anion height dependence of Tc for the Fe-based superconductor (2010), Superconductivity in Novel BiS2-Based Layered Superconductor LaO1-xFxBiS2 (2012), Review of Fe chalcogenides as the simplest Fe-based superconductor (2010), and BiS-based layered superconductor BiOS (2012), among many others in the field of superconductivity and related materials.
