<Goal>
Through the development of advanced photo electron holography, atomic structures and electronic states of hyper-ordered structures are simultaneously measured. Physical properties of glasses including their liquid states are measured using the state-of- the-art facilities.

Development of new analyzers for hard X-ray photo electron holography. Simultaneous measurements of atomic structure/electronic state by X-ray photo electron holography. Thermophysical property measurements of molten oxides using a containerless processing facility in the ISS. Physical property measurements on amorphous samples.

<Collaboration>
Measurements of hyper-ordered structure will be conducted on the samples provided from A01 group. Data systematically measured by A02-1 and A02-2 will be transferred to A03 group for further theoretical analyses.
