Bio
Katsuya Inoue has opened up the field of chiral science by extending the geometric and magnetic structures of chiral magnetic materials and their dynamics to other fields. He has succeeded in creating chiral magnetic materials consisting of molecular to intermetallic compounds, and has synthesized about 80 % of the chiral magnetic materials known in the world today. His research on physical properties induced by asymmetry, including chiral magnetism, has attracted attention from various fields, and he has opened up new interdisciplinary research fields.
