physics.
Nagaoka graduated from the department of physics of the University of Tokyo in and entered the graduate school, where he began experimental research in magnetostriction under the British physicist C.
G. Knott, who was in Japan between and After receiving a doctorate, Nagaoka studied at the universities of Berlin. Munich, and Vienna from to He wasespeciallv impressed by Boltzmann’s course on the kinetic theory of gases at the University of Munich.
In Nagaoka was stimulated to study atomic structure to explain radioactivity by the lecture of the Curies at the first international congress of physics in Paris, where he had been invited to deliver a paper on magnetostriction.
From to Nagaoka, a leading professor of physics at the University of Tokyo, was primarily responsible for promoting the advancement of physics in Japan.
In addition to studying magnetostriction, he did work in atomic
