Molecular Ensemble Analysis Research Team
Research Areas
The objective of research in this team is to develop new technologies and methods using X-ray (SPring-8), muon (RAL), NMR, STM, ESR and ultra-fast time-resolved spectroscopy, to analyze structural and functional properties of functional molecules including molecular-based materials and biological materials. These techniques could apply to explore the electronic and magnetic states, and inter- and intra-molecular interactions in the target systems.
