Themes	Our research group aims at exploring (1) molecular magnetism and strong-correlated phenomena at surfaces and (2) new low-dimensional materials mainly by using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy and the collaborations with first^principles theory and many-body theory groups. In research (1), we focus on the detection of a spin localized in a single molecule adsorbed on solid surfaces, magnetic anisotropy derived from spin-orbit interaction in magnetic molecules, Kondo effect caused by the many-body entanglement of surface conduction electrons and molecular spins and low-dimensional molecular Kondo lattice. In research (2), we are investigating electronic properties on graphene and graphene nano-ribbons grown on solid surfaces, silicene (one-atom thick honeycomb lattice consisting of Si atoms) and the relatives, transition metal dichalcogenides MoTe2 and WTe2 that are candidates of Weyl-semimetal in which quasi-particles behave like Weyl fermions.
