Mechanisms of Molecular Self-assembly,
Manipulation of a single molecules for molecular devices.
Characterization using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
Organic
molecule has a large potential for future electronic
devices.
Self-assembly behaviors and electronic properties are
analyzed by STM and AFM to use them for the devices.

Synthesis and characterization of
Graphene and nanostructures
Fabrication
of graphene nanostructures including graphene nanomesh
that has a bandgap by bottom-up process is a key for
application to electronic devices because of their precise
control of the structure.
We are developing the method of the bottom-up process for
graphene nanostructures, which are analyzed by STM and
XPS.

Molecuar
detection using a single nanopore
Excitation of
fluorescent molecule by near-field around a nanopore can
be applied to a single molecular detection devices. We are
developping the techniques for realize such devices. |

Control
of Self-spreading of lipid bilayers by patterned self-assembled
monolayer.
Surfaces
coated by a self-assembled monolayer influence
self-spreading behaviors of lipid bilayers, which can be
applied to control of molecular transfer on the surface.@

Control
of motor protein by surface nanostructures
Functions
of motor protein are controlled by nanostructures on a
surface. It can be applied to the molecuar transfer in
micro TAS.
We are developping a new control techniques by using
nanostructures and plasmons. |
