Applied Solid State Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab draws new functions out of electrons in oxides, and also builds antennas that control light.
AboutAbout the lab
Creating functions of inorganic materials from the behavior of electrons.
The Applied Solid State Chemistry Lab studies how electrons behave in inorganic solids such as metal oxides and nitrides, and what physical properties emerge as a result.
Its main targets are oxides of strongly correlated electron systems, in which charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom are coupled, and metals and nitrides in which quasiparticles of delocalized electron systems play a role.
Metal oxides are basically ionic, with covalent character added, and transition elements can take several oxidation states, which gives rise to a wide variety of physical properties.
The lab aims to clarify the phenomena that appear there and to develop new functional materials.
Key terms
- Strongly correlated electron system
- A state in which electrons in a solid strongly influence one another, giving rise to properties that do not appear for a single electron
- Mist chemical vapor deposition
- A method of growing thin oxide films by turning the source material into a mist and depositing it onto a substrate
- Surface plasmon
- A state in which light and electrons resonate around metal nanoparticles, concentrating the energy of the light

ResearchResearch themes
The lab clarifies the physical properties of inorganic solids, focusing on oxides of strongly correlated electron systems arising from the coupling of charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom, and on metals and nitrides in which quasiparticles of delocalized electron systems play a role. Based on this understanding, it aims to develop new functional materials.
*Illustrative imageMagnetism, dielectric properties, and semiconductor properties of oxides
The lab grows single crystals of RFe2O4, an oxide in which iron ions form a triangular lattice, and studies their basic physical properties. It also uses mist chemical vapor deposition to make thin films with metastable structures, and has built prototype diodes and transistors.
*Illustrative imageCollecting and emitting light with nanoantennas
Gold nanoparticles in glass look red because of surface plasmons, a resonance between light and electrons. The lab studies nanoantennas, in which nanoparticles are arranged periodically, for use in light sources and lighting.
