Research Project Outline
We are seeking new materials with new functional properties. New functional materials are strongly demanded for electronic devices in future information technology. Also, science on new materials will give some solutions for the problems in energy- and environment-related issues we face, and will develop our sustainable society. We are thus focusing on new materials containing ubiquitous 3d transition metals. With characteristic synthesis techniques we will be able to make such new functional materials with unusual ionic states and coordinations.
