Research interests in the Oka group are in the synthesis of novel inorganic compounds by mixing hetero anions and investigation of their physical properties such as magnetism and negative thermal expansion. Accurate crystallographic information is indispensable for the interpretation of physical properties. Thus, we often perform synchrotron X-ray diffraction study at SPring-8 and collaborate with other groups for integrating experimental and theoretical studies.
