| ・Develpoment of high functional film materials for magnetic devices driven
by electric field
For control of magnetization direction or inducement of magnetic domain,
if we can use not only magnetic field which is generated by current on
coil but also electric field which is generated by voltage, we can drastically
reduce the electric power consumption and can make device with simple structure
in magnetic devices.
FIn our research group, we develop new ferromagnetic and ferroelectric
films (e.g. BeFeO3-based materials) with high functions such as high magnetization
and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, and new fabrication method (e.g.
pulsed DC reactive sputtering) to depose high quality films. Finally, we
investigate new magnetic devices with low electric power consumption and
simple structure such as magnetic memory with large capacity and optical
modulator with high resolution driven by electric field.

・Development of new molecules for separation of hard-to-separate organic
compounds and precious metals
Precious metals and rare earth metals are contained in spent high-tech
products as secondary resources. Our group aims to develop extractants
and sorbents for effective and selective separation of these minor metals
from the secondary resources. Additionlally, we are also trying to produce
functional organic crystals and materials based on macrocycles for separation
of linear, branched, and cyclic alkanes which are difficult to separate
from each other by adsorption and other small organic compounds. |
