【C.V.】

1989-1994: Asahi Glass Company, Research Center in Yokohama
 1991-1992: ERATO Kunitake Molecular Architecture project in Kurume

1994-1999: Postdoctoral position in ERATO Tanaka Solid Junction Project in Yokohama and Max-Planck Institute for Microstructure Physics in Halle, Germany

1999-present: Senior researcher in the Advanced Electronic Material Center at the National Institute for Materials Science

【Research interest】

Original background is semiconductor materials science, including nanostructure fabrication, thin film growth and their characterization. Recently, his interest moved molecular electronics: single-molecular electronics, molecular self-assembly, thin film transistor and so on.

  1. Molecular Coulomb islands for single-electron devices
  2. STM study on molecular assembly
  3. Molecular nanowire: growth and properties
  4. Oganic thin film: growth mechanism and application

【Hot topic】

Self-assembly of molecular nanowire and its application to multi-level switching device

Self-assembled molecular nanowires of 6,13-bis(methylthio)pentacene: growth, electrical properties and applications
