Nanoscale Physical Properties Science Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that develops nanomaterials with optical and electronic functions.

AboutAbout the lab
Opening up the frontiers of nanoscience
The Nanoscale Physical Properties Science Lab develops materials with optical and electronic functions, based on nanomaterials, physical properties science, and device science.
In addition to sophisticated material design and synthesis, the lab verifies material properties using cutting-edge observation and measurement techniques.
The lab's research covers the search for new physical properties and their realization in devices, including applications to medical materials.
The lab is part of the Hokkaido University–NIMS Joint Graduate School Program and accepts doctoral students who conduct their research at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS).
Key terms
- Nanomaterial
- A material engineered at a size on the order of nanometers (one billionth of a meter)
- Physical properties
- The electrical, optical, magnetic, and other properties that a material exhibits
- Device
- An element or component that uses the properties of a material to handle electrical or optical signals
ResearchResearch themes
Based on nanomaterials, physical properties science, and device science, the lab develops optical and electronic functional materials that contribute to the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Through sophisticated material design and synthesis and cutting-edge observation and measurement, it searches for new physical properties and carries them through to device fabrication and applications in medical materials.
