In this Division, the cutting-edge studies of materials physics are performed in both experimental and theoretical fields. Along with the fundamental researches of the materials for advanced devices, studies of new materials and new phenomena, which are expected to contribute to the development of the frontier of physics, are widely carried out. The microscopic mechanisms of various interactions are investigated for a large class of materials in the bulk, surface, nanoscale and mesoscopic conditions, through new theoretical methods and models, and through the most advanced experimental methods such as synchrotron radiation spectroscopy and spectroscopy under high pressure. These results are also reflected in the development of new artificial materials of applicational interests. The characteristic feature of this Area is the broad field of researches, which covers the creation of new materials and the development of new instruments and new methods, as well as the construction of new theories to clarify unknown phenomena and predict new observations. Furthermore, this feature is directly reflected on the education of new generations of researchers and engineers.
