Outline Activities
From April 1988 to March 1998, I worked as an assistant professor at the Graduate School of Science and Engineering, and continued to work as a lecturer from April 1998, and have been working as an associate professor since October 1999 and as an associate professor since April 2007.

My main research themes are (1) microstructure and magnetic properties of neodymium magnet materials, (2) microstructural analysis of silicide environmental semiconductor thin films, (3) creation and microstructural analysis of new boron-based hydrogen storage alloys, (4) X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectrum measurement under high pressure using synchrotron radiation, (5) crystal structure and anomalous properties of 4f electron alloys under low temperature and high pressure, and (6) phase transformation process of long-period structures. I am conducting research on a wide range of themes, from basic research on the phase transformation process of alloys to research on microstructure control of next-generation permanent magnet materials.

I also participate in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "Nanotechnology Support Project", JST Industry-Academia Collaborative Basic Research, and NEDO's "New High-Performance Magnetic Material Exploration Project", and am actively conducting joint research with other universities and companies.

In graduate school education, I provide research guidance to graduate students through their master's and doctoral theses. In addition, I offer "Fundamentals of Electronic Physics," "Fundamentals of Functional Materials Engineering," and "Special Topics in Crystal Physics Engineering," which focus on the properties of materials, mainly metals and ceramics, and their evaluation methods. I also offer "Fundamentals of Solid State Physics I" and "Advanced Solid State Physics," in an effort to improve the basic knowledge of graduate students.

In undergraduate education, I am involved in student experiments and exercises, and also give lectures on phase diagrams such as "Materials Structure Control" and "Phase Equilibrium Theory," as well as the basics of magnetic materials. I also supervise the graduation research of fourth-year undergraduate students. Furthermore, since April 2017, I have also been in charge of lectures on "Fundamentals of Mechanics," and am involved in core education.

1. Masaru Itakura, Koichi Sugiyama, Hiroshi Akamine, Minoru Nishida, Michihide Nakamura, Tetsuhiko Mizoguchi, Takahiko Iriyama, Suppression mechanism of abnormal grain growth by Zr addition in pressless processed Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets, J. Alloy Comp., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jallcom.2021.161244, 887, 161244-1-161244-11, 2021.07, Microstructures of pressless processed (PLP) Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets with and without Zr addition were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and scanning/transmission electron microscopy. In the Zr-free magnet, huge polygonal abnormal grains (AGs) about 100 times larger than the normal grain size were generated by PLP sintering at 975 °C. Electron backscattered diffraction analysis revealed that the PLP sintered magnet had a biaxial oriented texture of fine Nd2Fe14B grains with the orientation of the AGs significantly deviated from the biaxial oriented grains. By adding a small amount of Zr, fine plate-like Zr-B precipitates with a long period stacking ordered structure derived from the ZrB2 phase formed on the growth surfaces of Nd2Fe14B grains with a crystallographic orientation relationship. There were two Nd-rich grain boundary (GB) phases, namely, orthorhombic Nd3(Co, Cu) and metastable CaF2-NdO2, which became liquid during sintering. The boron consumption associated with the formation of Zr-B precipitates increased the Nd-rich GB phases, resulting in a homogeneous distribution of the liquid phase around the Nd2Fe14B grains. Therefore, the addition of Zr effectively suppressed the abnormal grain growth during PLP sintering owing to the pinning effect of the Zr-B precipitates and the formation of a homogeneous liquid phase distribution..
