Outline

Viewing the occupancy sites of anions (or small molecules and noble gas atoms) within inorganic materials as anionic nanospaces, we will manipulate these light element species and create new materials. New chemical and physical properties such as catalytic activity and ferroelectricity can be induced using the different orbital levels and polarizabilities of the anionic species.
