The lab explores quantum behavior that appears at the nanoscale through electrical conduction.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring quantum phenomena in a tiny world through electrical conduction.
Kanda Lab studies the behavior of quantum particles confined in mesoscopic systems, ranging in size from submicron to nanometer scale, through electrical conduction and other measurements.
In such systems, quantum mechanical effects appear clearly, and applications to future nanodevices are expected.
Both graduate and undergraduate students carry out the entire process, from preparing samples with the latest microfabrication techniques to measuring electrical conduction at extremely low temperatures.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kanda-Morishita Lab."
Key terms
- Mesoscopic system
- A system with a size from submicron to nanometer scale, in which quantum mechanical effects appear prominently
- Graphene
- A material in which carbon atoms are arranged in a single-layer sheet
- Quantum vortex (vortex line)
- A vortex-like quantum state that forms inside a superconductor
ResearchResearch themes
The lab investigates the behavior of quantum particles confined in systems ranging from submicron to nanometer scale, through electrical conduction and other measurements. Graduate and undergraduate students carry out the entire process, from sample preparation to measurements at extremely low temperatures.
*Illustrative imageStrain effects in graphene
The lab uses the pseudo-magnetic field generated by strain in the graphene lattice to turn graphene into a semiconductor, aiming at applications in high-performance field-effect transistors.
*Illustrative imageSuperconducting proximity effect in graphene
The lab aims to observe specular Andreev reflection, which has been theoretically predicted to occur at the interface between graphene and a superconductor but has not been observed for many years.
*Illustrative imageMesoscopic superconductivity
Using its own MSTJ (multiple-small-tunnel-junction) method, the lab controls the quantum vortex states that form in tiny superconductors, aiming at applications in quantum devices.
*Illustrative imageLow-dimensional properties of quantum fluids and quantum solids
The lab manipulates the structure of helium to bring out quantum phenomena, aiming to clarify the mechanisms behind them.
