AboutAbout the lab
Exploring unknown physical phenomena in organic molecules
The Tamura Lab studies the electrical and magnetic properties of materials made of organic molecules.
Some organic materials show remarkable physical properties, such as superconductivity and ferromagnetism.
Among the countless organic molecules, many functions remain unknown. The lab aims to use new molecules to discover and explain unknown physical phenomena.
Covering a wide range from condensed matter physics to synthetic chemistry, the lab pursues its research without being bound by disciplinary boundaries.
Key terms
- Superconductivity
- A phenomenon in which a cooled material loses its electrical resistance. Some organic materials also show this phenomenon.
- Ferromagnetism
- The property of being magnetized like a magnet without an externally applied magnetic field.
- Polarized micro-reflectance spectroscopy
- A measurement method that examines the electronic states of materials, even opaque ones, from the reflection of light shone on a sample.
ResearchResearch themes
Organic materials are familiar to us as pharmaceuticals and plastics, but they also include ones that show remarkable physical properties such as superconductivity and ferromagnetism. The lab studies the electronic properties of molecular organic materials, aiming to discover and explain unknown physical phenomena with new molecules.
*Illustrative imageProbing electronic states with polarized micro-reflectance spectroscopy
The lab uses a measurement method that can directly probe the mobility and energy levels of electrons in a solid, even in opaque materials. Few labs in Japan or abroad can measure tiny samples at low temperatures (below 30 K), and the lab says this is likely to provide decisive data for analyzing electronic states.
*Illustrative imageUnderstanding electrical conduction in organic crystals
Electrical conduction in crystals of organic molecules has mainly been studied for fundamental phenomena such as superconductivity and quantum properties at extremely low temperatures. Much remains unknown about the mechanism of conduction at room temperature, and the lab plans to work on it over the long term by developing new materials and new methods for analyzing physical properties.
