Then, in April 1990, "Superconductivity Engineering" Special Study Course(Department of Superconductivity) was established in Faculty of Engineering, Graduate school, Unversity of Tokyo, as the graduate school special course for the first time in Japan. Department of Superconductivity has the wide links with many other courses, and is mainly held by professors and students of graduate school courses such as Applied Physics, Applied Chemistry, Electrical and Eletronic Engineering, and Metallurgy and Materials Sciense. Since then, the department has been covering larger subjects of researches than the conventional ones, such as solid state physics, materials science, device engineering, science of mesurements, circuit engineering, electromagnetic dynamics, as well as superconductivity.
Our "SEMRL" laboratory was newly born at the same time when the department was extablished, and has been studying "Superconductiving Materials" ever since.
