Nano Functional Materials Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies nanomaterials by making oxides and observing them with synchrotron radiation.

AboutAbout the lab
Fusing “making” and “observing” to open up the functions of oxides
The Nano Functional Materials Chemistry Lab (Kumigashira Lab) designs and controls the physical properties of oxides in order to develop new functional nanomaterials.
The lab pursues its research by combining, at a high level, oxide molecular beam epitaxy for “making” and high-brilliance synchrotron radiation for “observing.”
The lab is a research division of the Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials, Tohoku University, and is located on the Katahira Campus.
Key terms
- Oxide molecular beam epitaxy
- A method of growing thin oxide crystals little by little by directing materials as beams of molecules onto a substrate in a vacuum.
- High-brilliance synchrotron radiation
- Very bright light emitted when the path of high-speed electrons is bent. It is used to study the electronic states of the surfaces and interfaces of materials.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab designs and controls the rare physical properties of oxides in order to develop new functional nanomaterials. It pursues its research by combining, at a high level, techniques for making oxides with techniques for observing them using high-brilliance synchrotron radiation.
