We seek to establish the basis as to creation of a variety of materials required by high-level devices – like next-generation high-density LSIs and high-density storage devices – as well as wide-spectra light sources and optical crystals. In order to do so, materials science guidelines need to be culled from nanometer-order observation and control of the structures of materials (in addition to electrical, optical and magnetic properties plus the interrelationships thereto). The resultant spawning of various ICT devices indispensable to realizing the “Ubiquitous Society” is targeted.
Research Centers and Overview of Research Thereto
Advanced Electronic Materials Center
We aim to develop next-generation semiconductor nanostructure materials by applying combinatorial techniques and nanostructure evaluation technologies
Optronic Materials Center
We aim to provide technology – founded upon materials science and nanoscience – for optical/optoelectronic materials, in order to meet a variety of social needs
Magnetic Materials Center
Conducts development of indispensable magnetic materials including permanent magnets for use in developing data storage systems and spintronic devices.
