Yamamoto Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A condensed matter theory lab that explores the flow of electrons and heat in nanocarbon and other materials through theory and simulation.
AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering the macroscopic properties of matter from a microscopic perspective.
The Condensed Matter Theory Lab (Yamamoto Lab) uses theoretical physics methods and computer simulation to explain the macroscopic properties of matter from a microscopic perspective.
The lab seeks the universality and regularities hidden behind the diverse physical phenomena that materials exhibit.
Based on its findings, the lab carries out theoretical design of materials with new functions and high-performance devices, aiming to make them a reality.
In graduation research, students learn the fundamentals of condensed matter physics and simulation techniques, then work on their own graduation research themes in the second semester.
Key terms
- Nanocarbon materials
- Nanometer-scale materials made of carbon, such as carbon nanotubes and graphene
- Quantum transport phenomena
- The flow of electrons and other particles through a material according to the laws of quantum mechanics
- Phonon
- The vibrations of atoms in a material treated as particles. Phonons are involved in how heat is conducted
- Thermoelectric conversion
- Converting between heat and electricity. One example is extracting electricity from a temperature difference
ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts theoretical and simulation research on nanocarbon materials, atomic-layer materials, molecular electronics devices, semiconductor microstructures, and various polymer materials. Developing novel theoretical methods and algorithms is also one of the lab's major themes.
