The lab seeks to understand the structure and properties of soft molecular assemblies in terms of the individuality of their molecules.
AboutAbout the lab
Reading the properties of soft materials from the individuality of molecules
The Condensed Matter Physical Chemistry Lab aims to understand the properties of condensed systems made up of many molecules, based on the individuality of the molecules.
Its subjects are soft condensed systems collectively known as soft matter, such as liquids, surfactants dispersed in liquids, liquid crystals, and molecular crystals.
The lab develops various spectroscopic methods, structural analysis by X-rays and other techniques, and thermodynamic measurements, and uses them to study structure and properties.
Students in the College of Chemistry can join this lab in their fourth year and carry out their graduation research here.
Key terms
- Soft matter
- A general term for soft condensed systems such as liquids and liquid crystals
- Liquid crystal
- A state of matter that flows like a liquid while its molecules remain aligned to some degree
- Alkyl chain
- A soft part of a molecule consisting of carbon atoms linked in a chain and extending from the molecule

*Illustrative imageMolecular Arrangement and Properties in Layered (Smectic) Liquid Crystal Phases
The lab studies how molecules are arranged within the layers of a liquid crystal, and how this arrangement relates to physical properties and phase transitions. It focuses on the role of the soft alkyl chains extending from the molecules in determining that arrangement.
