PI message

Most of inorganic materials, Ceramics, are metal oxides and their functionalities are controlled and improved by mixing several metal elements into the oxides. For the further development in inorganic materials, novel compounds are required to be created. Our group focuses on synthesize novel compounds which never exist, by combination of several anions as well as cations. Nitrogen is common element present in air and most stable molecule. Our research target is novel compounds containing nitrogen, especially metal oxynitrides. They have unique dielectric and optical properties. Although synthesis of novel compounds is not facile issue, we are enjoying the challenge to create new compounds which are never known.

Research

Synthesis and new functions of nano-structured solids and thin films including inorganic nanomaterials, fine ceramics, organic semiconductors and nanocarbons.
