Research Summary

The strength of Dr. Ando's research lies in the core strategy to perform both the state-of-the-art materials synthesis and difficult low-temperature experiments in a synergistic manner. Before 2007, he worked mainly on high-Tc superconductors, where his main achievements were (i) Discovery of insulating normal state and hidden metal-to-insulator crossover under 60-T magnetic fields, and (ii) Discovery of electron nematicity manifested in the in-plane resistivity anisotropy. Since 2007, he has been a pioneer in the fields of topological insulators (TIs) and topological superconductors, where his major contributions include (i) Discovery and developments of “bulk-insulating” TI materials, (ii) Experimental discovery of the topological superconductivity in CuxBi2Se3, and (iii) Experimental discovery of topological crystalline insulator. After moving to Cologne, he is expanding his research horizon into mesoscopic physics in topological materials, by employing nanofabrication techniques.
