| Advanced materials have often opened new horizons in materials science. Molecular conductors, high temperature oxide
superconductors, C60, and molecular magnets are good examples. These advanced materials exhibit various kinds
of fascinating physical properties. One
of our goals is to control these properties by modifying molecules chemically. We also hope to develop new materials and to
find novel phenomena that lead to new concepts of matter. The subjects of our
current intensive research are as follows: 1. The development of high temperature molecular superconductors and multi-functional molecular superconductors. 2. Basic and applied research of fullerens and encapsulated metal-fullerens. 3. Basic and applied research of molecular magnets, especially, chiral magnets. |
