Outline
This research field focuses on the pursuit of novel principles which can be used as the driving force behind developing scientific techniques related to matter and materials, as well as the creation of novel, fundamental measurement and analysis technologies which can contribute to the discovery and clarification of new phenomena. Specifically, emphasis is placed on the construction of new materials and devices, the development of new measurement and analysis techniques contributing to the development of novel micro-scale processing technologies, and the development of new measurement and analysis techniques for the chemical form of materials with extremely low abundance in the environment. In addition, novel measurement and analysis techniques are sought with regard to the physical properties which correspond to the nano-scale configuration of materials, as well as for the physical properties and the chemical composition of surfaces and phases. Also, even for techniques based on existing fundamental principles, this field includes research which is expected to yield breakthrough techniques that can drastically improve the speed, sensitivity and resolution of measurements and analyses or can break the limitations associated with these factors. Such breakthroughs are also expected in the pursuit of new principles, and in the research and material science techniques related to the discovery and clarification of new phenomena.
