MESSAGE
Welcome!
We are "Nono-Space Funcition Design" research group.
Materials science for functionality design of the nano-scaled ultrathin films and their hetero-interfaces is now having a crucial role in the development of advanced electron devices. Our researches are focusing on : understanding of the new phenomena in nano-space and material interfaces and designing the electric / magnetic / optical functions of device materials based on the control of the structure and the physical properties of nano-spaces.
For examples, our current researches are focusing on development of highly-efficient energy conversion power devices and ultralow-power consuming nano-electron devices, toward the future energy-saving society
