We focus on exploring novel quantum phenomena emerging from the collective behavior of electrons in solids, such as superconductivity, quantum criticality, and magnetic frustration effects. Our research specializes in high-precision thermodynamic measurements, including specific heat, magnetocaloric effects, magnetization, and magnetostriction, conducted under extreme conditions: temperatures below 0.1 K, pressures up to 10 GPa, and magnetic fields up to 7 T. Moreover, we have developed advanced equipment that allows precise control of magnetic field orientation within these challenging environments. By utilizing these advanced experimental techniques, we aim to uncover unforeseen phenomena in condensed matter physics.
