Our paper “Solvent-dimer-mediated clusters as a microscopic model of solution: IR spectroscopy and density functional theory of jet-cooled pyrrole-tetrahydrofuran clusters” was published in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics.
40th Symposium on Chemical Kinetics and Dynamics
We participated the 40th Symposium on Chemical Kinetics and Dynamics, held at Kobe University on June 4-6. Mr. Eiyu Mitsukawa (M2) gave a poster presentation “Precise control of an optical cavity to observe gas-phase vibrational polaritons”.
Laboratory tour and banquet
In the Department of Chemistry, we provided the laboratory tour and banquet inviting B3 students on May 30. This is an opportunity to encourage students to consider a laboratory assignment in the future.
Laser spectroscopy workshop
Our laboratory members participated “Laser Spectroscopy Workshop” at Gotemba on May 23-24. This workshop is annual meeting jointly by five laboratories from Science Tokyo, Kitasato University, and Shizuoka University. We enjoyed oral and poster presentations with beer, wine, and sake.
Starting the spring-summer semester of 2025
We start our laboratory activity in the spring-summer semester of 2025 today.
Farewell & welcome party
We had the farewell and welcome party at our familiar beer restaurant “Grow Stock” on Mar. 3. We enjoyed nice beer, food, and conversation with a lot of smile.
Research presentation
The research presentation in the Department of Chemistry was held on Feb. 27-28. Four students in our laboratory, Mr. Miyashita, Ms. Hara, Mr. Hayashi, and Mr. Fukui, gave their presentations of “Cavity transmission for polaritonic chemistry”, “Chirality recognition of molecular dimer”, “IR spectroscopy of dihydrogen-bonded clusters”, and “Dependence of dihydrogen bond strength on its angle”, respectively. We were pleased to enjoy nice presentations.
Defense of master’s thesis
Three students in our laboratory, Mr. Oyaide, Hayano, and Furukawa, gave their presentations to show fruitful results in defending the master’s thesis.
Workshop on “Molecular Science in Optical Cavity”
The research center of “Molecular Science in Optical Cavity,” which is organized by Prof. Matsumoto, was supported by the Center of Interdisciplinary Domain Research at Shizuoka University. On Dec. 10, we had the opportunity to open the workshop at our research center. The members of this center are Prof. Bando (Shizuoka U.), Prof. Katsuki (NAIST), Prof. Yasuike (OUJ), and Prof. Sakota (OMU).
International Symposium of JSPS Core-to-Core Program on “Elucidation of solvation effect on molecular recognition”
International Symposium of JSPS Core-to-Core Program on “Elucidation of solvation effect on molecular recognition” was held on Oct. 21-24 at Marseille, France.
