Division of Multidisciplinary Chemistry
-Molecular Aggregation Analysis (Sato Laboratory)-
Japanese(JIS) version is here.
The research at this subdivision is devoted to studies on correlation
between structures and properties of both natural and artificial molecular
aggregates from two main standpoints: their photoelectric and dielectric
properties. The electronic structures of organic solids, in particular thin
films, is examined using both photoemission and inverse photoemission
spectroscopies in connection with the former, and those results are applied
to create novel molecular systems with characteristic electronic functions;
several synthetic investigations in a wide sense are also carried out. The
latter is connected with heterogeneous structures in microcapsules,
biopolymers, biological membranes and biological cells, and the nonlinearity
in their dielectric properties is also studied in relation to molecular
motions.
