Many network solids composed of light elements, such as boron, carbon, or silicon, possess cage structures. For example, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have cylindrical cages with typical diameters of 1-3 nm. Materials confined to cages are expected to exhibit novel features that do not appear in bulk materials. We explore the exotic properties of network solids and materials confined to nanoscale cages.
Research Themes
1. Electronic, magnetic and structural properties of network solids.
2. Dynamics of molecules confined to nanoscale spaces.
