Nano-Interface Physical Properties Lab

AboutAbout the lab

Arranging nanoparticles to confine light.

The Nano-Interface Physical Properties Lab studies how molecules and nanoparticles can be self-assembled into materials with new functions, and applies them to biosensing.
In particular, it investigates broadly plasmon resonance, an optical phenomenon that occurs at the interfaces between metals and organic materials.
A recent topic is the “plasmonic nanosheet,” which makes use of the property that silver nanoparticles spontaneously form two-dimensional crystals at the air-water interface.
On the lab’s website, it is presented under the name “Tamada-Okamoto Lab.”
