Methods and technologies
Synthesis and processing
The technologies used at this center can be broadly divided into synthesis/manufacturing technology and evaluation analysis technology.
This page specifically focuses on Synthesis and processing methods. Method for Characterization and measurements is at 【another page 】.
There is also a wide range of Synthesis and processing technologies. First, it is a means of obtaining the desired material by reacting or melting substances at high temperatures, using a so-called "furnace. " On the other hand, it is a means of synthesizing materials at relatively low temperatures, that is, using chemical methods that can be imaged from beakers or flasks. It provides a means of synthesizing substances from liquids such as aqueous solutions. There are also processes that use liquids and do not involve a dissolution step. An example of this is the process of dispersing powder into a liquid. Dispersion processes are of great importance in materials synthesis.
Another method is to synthesize materials by depositing vaporized raw materials as solids on a substrate. This process of precipitating a solid phase from a gas phase is often used for high-purity synthesis in a vacuum environment. Furthermore, this center will utilize shape forming technology such as microfabrication technology for device formation.
We also have equipment available for use by outside organizations. If you are interested, please inquire.
