Toda Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores small mechanical elements using nanoresonators and nanomaterials.
AboutAbout the lab
Building machines and materials in the nano world.
The Toda Lab studies mechanical elements on the scale of nanometers and functional nanomaterials.
Nanoresonators can serve as sensors that detect tiny forces, masses, and heat with high sensitivity, and the lab also pursues fundamental research such as the loss of vibrational energy.
In functional nanomaterials, the lab applies new functions of nanostructures and works on devices such as graphene-based energy storage devices.
On the lab's website, it is introduced together with Prof. Ono's lab as "Ono/Toda Lab."
Key terms
- Nanoresonator
- A resonator made of nanostructures. It can serve as a sensor that detects force, mass, and heat with high sensitivity
- Graphene
- A sheet-like material in which carbon atoms are arranged in a single layer
- Supercapacitor
- An energy storage device that stores and releases electrical energy using electrochemical reactions
ResearchResearch themes
Based on nanotechnology and microsystems technology, the lab develops nanomechanical elements and functional nanomaterials. It investigates the nanomechanics of nanoresonators from the fundamentals and advances their application to sensors and energy storage devices.
*Illustrative imageNanomechanics of Nanoresonators
The lab studies application technologies for nanostructured resonators and their nanomechanics. It carries out fundamental research on surface defects and other factors that lead to the loss of vibrational energy, and also addresses nonlinear phenomena in which the resonant frequency changes with amplitude.
*Illustrative imageFunctional Nanomaterials
The lab studies supercapacitors with increased storage capacity, made by enlarging the surface area with high-density graphene nanostructures. It also works on improving the performance of thermoelectric films by fabricating films containing nanoparticles through electroplating.
