Taniguchi Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores one-dimensional superfluidity in liquid helium confined in nanopores.
AboutAbout the lab
Investigating one-dimensional quantum systems with helium at extremely low temperatures.
The Taniguchi Lab works in low-temperature physics (quantum fluids), studying systems in which liquid helium is confined in nanoscale spaces.
The lab has investigated one-dimensional quantum systems, long considered difficult to realize experimentally, using liquid helium inside nanopores.
At extremely low temperatures, every substance other than helium freezes, making it possible to maintain an extremely clean system for a long time.
Taking advantage of this, the lab is also advancing research in nanotribology, which examines interfacial friction from a microscopic perspective, using pure physisorbed films as the subject.
Key terms
- Superfluidity
- One of the key concepts of quantum fluids, which emerged from research on helium. The lab studies how flow occurs and breaks down inside pores.
- Nanopores
- Very narrow pores with a diameter of about 3 nm. Systems in which liquid helium is confined in them are attracting attention as a new one-dimensional quantum system.
- Nanotribology
- A field that studies interfacial friction from a microscopic perspective.
ResearchResearch themes
The Taniguchi Lab confines liquid helium in nanoscale spaces and experimentally investigates quantum effects that arise from size and reduced dimensionality. Making use of the clean environment at extremely low temperatures, the lab also works on interfacial friction in physisorbed films.
*Illustrative imageSuperfluid flow through one-dimensional pores
The lab observed the flow of liquid helium inside nanopores and found that the conventional concept of a critical velocity does not hold; instead, the flow velocity follows a power law in the pressure difference. It has also prepared samples with narrower pores and is examining how the behavior changes with the strength of one-dimensionality.
*Illustrative imageInterfacial friction of physisorbed films
At extremely low temperatures, every substance other than helium freezes, so an extremely clean system can be maintained for a long time. Taking advantage of this, the lab studies pure physisorbed films with the aim of understanding their interfacial friction from a microscopic perspective.
