[RESEARCH THEME]
An attempt is made to control precisely the submicrometer-range morphology of metal oxides in order to create novel photonic materials based on the interference of light waves.
Of particular interest is to form well-defined macropores in oxides with high-refractive index using a sol-gel method accompanied by phase separation, and to design the structures that scatter strongly light.
Main goals of the project are to clarify the light propagation in strongly scattering media, to combine optically active molecules or ions with the strong light scattering, and to develop compact photonic devices making full use of the nature of light.
