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”.
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.
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.
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).
