Excitation Materials Chemistry Lab [SANKEN]
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies chemistry that controls the reactions of molecules excited by light and radiation.
AboutAbout the lab
Controlling molecular reactions with light and radiation.
The Excitation Materials Chemistry Lab (Fujitsuka Lab) studies chemistry that controls reactions, building on excited-state molecular chemistry induced by light and radiation under spatial and temporal control.
Its themes include photocatalysis and chemical technologies that use light and radiation to investigate the mechanisms of life.
The lab is a research division of the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research (SANKEN) at The University of Osaka, and it accepts graduate students from the Department of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Engineering.
Key terms
- Excited state
- A state in which a molecule or material has absorbed energy, such as light, and is at a higher energy than usual
- Photocatalyst
- A substance that drives chemical reactions when it receives light
- Pulse radiolysis
- A method in which an electron beam is applied to a material for a very short time, and the resulting reactions are followed over time
ResearchResearch themes
Building on excited-state molecular chemistry induced by light and radiation under spatial and temporal control, the lab studies chemistry that controls reactions by exploiting the properties of molecules and of the environments in which reactions take place. Its research uses nanosecond-to-femtosecond laser flash photolysis, pulse radiolysis, spatiotemporally resolved single-molecule fluorescence microscopy, and other methods.
*Illustrative imageExcited-state chemistry with light and electron beams
Controlling reactions in liquids and solids requires control of excited states, so the lab irradiates samples with light and electron beams under temporal and spatial control to study the chemistry of highly reactive excited-state molecules and materials. It also works toward applications, such as improving photocatalytic activity based on charge-transfer dynamics.
*Illustrative imageChemical technologies that use light and radiation to understand the mechanisms of life
The lab aims to develop chemical technologies that image and control living systems with light and radiation. It designs and synthesizes photofunctional hybrid molecules and materials, develops biological imaging methods, optical manipulation methods, and energy-conversion materials, and pursues applied research in bioscience.
