Currently, I am focusing on the structure and the stabilization mechanism of
quasicrystalline compounds. I use several different approaches, such as ab initio method, mathematical modeling
techniques, etc.

Seminar abstracts (PDF) (in
Japanese) Seminar (I) (slides in PDF) :
this talk (in Japanese) is about my recent work (Acta Cryst. A 65, 342-351 (2009); Journal of Physics:
Conference Series, accepted for publication) on quasiperiodic tilings. Seminar (II) (slides in PDF)
: this talk (in Japanese) is about my previous paper (Phys. Rev. B 72, 085459 (2005)) on band structures of
triply periodic minimal surfaces.

These programs (written in Perl, approx. 300 lines) generate Ammann-Beenker and rhombic Penrose tilings with the
grid method. To run with Windows, you need ActivePerl (ver 5.12) and Povray (v.3.6) installed on your computer.
These can be downloaded from http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads http://www.povray.org/download The installation is very
simple.
Put each of the .pl files into an empty folder. Double clicking the file to run. Then three
output files are generated. (The '.pl' extension should be associated with perl command. But usually it is done
automatically when you install ActivePerl.) The output files are (1) the tiling, (2) grid lines (3) mapping of
the vertices to the internal space. If you open them in Povray and run, each of these objects can be displayed.
