A lab that builds new nanostructures from atoms and molecules and explores their surface properties.
AboutAbout the lab
Building nanostructures from atoms and molecules.
The Shinya Ohno Lab studies how to build new nanoscale structures using atoms and molecules as basic building blocks, and investigates their physical properties.
Its goal is to evaluate the properties of these structures in detail and, based on that knowledge, propose new devices.
The lab uses a combination of various surface analysis techniques, such as scanning tunneling microscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy.
The undergraduate reading-and-presentation seminar is run jointly with the Shudo Lab.
Key terms
- Scanning tunneling microscope
- A microscope that brings a fine-tipped needle close to a surface and determines the arrangement of atoms from the current that flows.
- Photoelectron spectroscopy
- A method that shines light on a material and measures the electrons emitted, in order to study the electronic states and surface properties of the material.
- Qubit
- The smallest unit that carries information in a quantum computer.
- Bottom-up
- An approach that builds a target structure by assembling atoms and molecules.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to build new structures that have not existed before, using atoms and molecules as basic building blocks, to evaluate their physical properties, and to use the results to propose new devices. This approach follows the bottom-up approach in nanotechnology.
*Illustrative imageNanostructures built from atoms and molecules
Using atoms and molecules as basic building blocks, the lab builds novel nanoscale structures that have not existed before and evaluates their physical properties in detail. For example, organic molecules that encapsulate magnetic atoms are expected to be used as qubits.
*Illustrative imageCombining multiple surface analysis techniques
The lab often uses scanning tunneling microscopy, atomic force microscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy, low-energy electron diffraction, and micro-Raman spectroscopy in combination. It also puts effort into developing surface-sensitive optical measurement methods.
*Illustrative imageSemiconductor surfaces and organic and biological molecules
The lab's work centers on analyzing the structure, physical properties, and reactivity of semiconductor surfaces. It also pursues interdisciplinary research aimed at realizing the functionality of organic and biological molecules, and hopes to extend its themes to low-dimensional semiconductors, metal oxides, and compound semiconductors in the future.
