Research Project Outline
To realize new functional magnetic materials and to develop innovative magnetic devices, this project, which is based on magnetochemistry, investigates the bottom-up synthesis of functional nanomaterials. Specifically, we will demonstrate next-generation high-density memories and electromagnetic wave absorbers using metal oxide-based nanomagnets. Moreover, to discover new phenomena due to the coupling effect between magnetism and ion conductivity (and/or photon), we will prepare a novel type of metal complex-based magnet by controlling the crystal structure and its dimensionalities. Through such investigations, we will elucidate the relationship between magnetic properties and molecular structure (or nanostructure).
