Abstract

The research topics of our group are development, characterization, and controls of performance of new semiconductor devices using functional materials such as conducting π-conjugated polymers and oligomers, perovskite, carbon materials, and transition metal chalcogenides.

 

We investigate the topics by fabricating electronic devices such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and transistors, and by using characterization methods such as electron spin resonance (ESR), transport, and optics.

 

Currently, we promote the projects such as Research Center for Organic-Inorganic Quantum Spin Science and Technology (OIQSST), University of Tsukuba, Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) JST-Mirai Program, NEDO Green Inovation, and Tsukuba Research Center for Enegy Materials Science (TREMS). Previously, we promoted the projects such as JST PRESTO, JST ALCA, Pre Strategic Initiative, University of Tsukuba, and Tsukuba Research Center for Interdisciplinary Materials Science (TIMS).
