Solid-State Optical Physics and Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses light to investigate the properties of semiconductors and to develop new optically functional materials.

AboutAbout the lab
Probing the properties and functions of matter with light
The Solid-State Optical Physics and Engineering Lab uses light to act on materials and investigates the properties of semiconductors from their responses.
Using spectroscopic methods, the lab investigates the optical properties, photoinduced phenomena, phase transitions, and ultrahigh-pressure properties of semiconductors, and also develops optically functional materials.
Its subjects include nanometer-sized semiconductor crystals (quantum dots) and perovskite-type semiconductors that combine organic and inorganic components.
On the lab's website, it is introduced as the Matsuishi Lab.
Key terms
- Optical properties
- Properties of a material investigated through its responses, such as absorption, reflection, and light emission, when light is shone on it
- Quantum dots
- Semiconductor crystals made on the scale of nanometers. They show optical responses different from those of large crystals.
- Perovskite
- A family of materials with a specific crystal structure. This lab works with semiconductors that combine organic and inorganic components.
ResearchResearch themes
This lab uses light to act on materials and, from their responses, investigates the states of electrons in the material and the vibrational states of the lattice formed by atoms and molecules. Using spectroscopic methods, the lab studies the optical properties, photoinduced phenomena, phase transitions, and ultrahigh-pressure properties of semiconductors, and also develops optically functional materials.
*Illustrative imageFabrication and Optical Properties of Semiconductor Nanocrystals
The lab uses colloidal synthesis to make high-quality nanocrystals (quantum dots) of uniform size, and investigates their optical properties under external conditions such as temperature, pressure, and magnetic field. The lab also builds three-dimensional superlattices of nanocrystals and studies their optical properties.
*Illustrative imageLow-Dimensional Organic-Inorganic Perovskite Semiconductors
Using a solution method, the lab makes organic-inorganic hybrid semiconductors through self-assembly. By changing the fabrication conditions, the arrangement of the inorganic part can be controlled to be 0-, 1-, or 2-dimensional, and applications of the properties that derive from the nanostructure are expected.
