AboutAbout the lab
Toward new electronic devices built from molecules
The Tada Lab (Molecular Electronics Group) takes on the challenge of creating new molecular electronics and organic electronics devices that use molecules as their basic building blocks, and of establishing their scientific foundations.
The lab seeks graduate students from a wide range of fields regardless of their undergraduate department, including molecular science, physical chemistry, materials science, condensed matter physics, electronic engineering, and nanoscience.
For graduate school entrance exams, applicants can take physics or chemistry in the recommendation-based exam, and condensed matter physics, chemistry, biotechnology, and other subjects in the general exam.
Lab visits are welcome at any time, and interested students are directed to consult Professor Tada.
Key terms
- Molecular electronics
- A research field that builds electronic devices using molecules as basic building blocks
- Single-molecule junction
- A structure in which a single molecule is connected between electrodes. It is studied by measuring how easily electricity flows through it (electrical conductance)
- Heat transport
- The transfer of heat within a material or between electrodes. This lab studies how heat is transferred at the nanoscale
