One of the outstanding trends in modern condensed matter physics
is the rapid development in studies of atomically controlled surfaces and
interfaces, artificial superlattices and micro- and nano-structures. The
background of such developments is the advancement of key technologies
for epitaxial crystal growth, microfabrication, surface characterization,
and local sensing by use of scanning probe microscopes.
The Division of Nanoscale Science consists of seven laboratories
--- Iye, Katsumoto, Otani, Komori, Yoshinobu, Hasegawa and Lippmaa. The
research efforts of these labs are directed to various aspects of nanoscale
science
The on-going research activities include
-
Study of low temperature quantum transport in mesoscopic structures of semiconductors, metals, superconductors, magnetic materials and their hybrid structures.
-
Study of local electronic states and transport phenomena by scanning probe
microscopes.
-
Study of transport, magnetism and other properties of novel materials
at solid surfaces.
-
Study of dynamical processes such as chemical reaction at solid surfaces at the atomic level and creation of new material phases.
- Study of epitaxial growth of oxide thin films and their functional properties.
