The lab uses electron microscopes to capture the atomic structure of nanomaterials.
AboutAbout the lab
Examining nanomaterials with microscopes that see individual atoms
The lab uses state-of-the-art electron microscopes to analyze the atomic-level structure of nanomaterials and evaluate their functions.
It aims to create new materials and bring out new functions.
It is developing instruments such as the environmental transmission electron microscope (ETEM), which observes at the atomic scale what happens at the boundary between gas and solid.
The lab is a cooperating laboratory of the Division of Materials and Manufacturing Science, Graduate School of Engineering, and accepts students in both the master's and doctoral programs.
Key terms
- Environmental Transmission Electron Microscope (ETEM)
- A high-resolution transmission electron microscope that can observe nanostructures in a gas at the atomic scale
- High-Precision Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy (EELS)
- An electron spectroscopy technique that, together with a low-accelerating-voltage microscope, enables state analysis of single atoms and local property measurement
- Real-world environment
- The environment in which a nanomaterial is actually used
ResearchResearch themes
The lab uses state-of-the-art electron microscopes to analyze the atomic-level structure of nanomaterials and evaluate their functions, aiming to realize new materials and new functions. Through microscope development, its goals are to develop new low-dimensional materials and to establish methods for evaluating properties at the nanoscale.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping electron microscopes and electron spectroscopy that see atoms
The lab develops an ETEM that observes dynamics at gas-solid interfaces at the atomic scale, a low-accelerating-voltage microscope capable of single-atom state analysis and local property measurement, and high-precision electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS).
*Illustrative imageCreating nanomaterials and observing them in real-world environments
Using the ETEM, the lab creates new nanomaterials itself and examines their structure and properties at the atomic scale in the real-world environments where they are actually used.
