A theoretical physicist who coauthored the electronic-level calculations underlying Tanabe-Sugano diagrams with Satoru Sugano. The work applied crystal field theory to complex ions, balancing the effect of the surrounding ligands with interactions within the d shell. This made optical absorption a way to investigate electronic states in a particular chemical environment.[ref]
