Research Interests

Advanced laser technology

He has discovered a molecular nanojet in liquid, which can make molecular nanodots on substrates. It may be used to fabricate organic devises in future.

He is developing a new technique for fabrication of polymer nanowires by pulsed laser irradiation.

Combinatorial sputter coating system (COSCOS)

He has developed the combinatorial sputter coating system called "COSCOS". It can synthesize various kinds of coatings under precisely controlled conditions such as sputter-gas, gas pressure, gas partial pressure, r.f. power, substrate temperature, distance between the substrate and the target, etc. With this system we successfully synthesized coating films with different crystal preferred orientations.

Energy conversion devices

Using above advanced laser and coating technologies, he is investigating in the following three fields of energy conversion: (1)thermoelectric, (2)piezoelectric and (3)photoelectric conversion.
