Solid State Chemistry

Research on the development of new functional ceramics (structural materials and electronic materials) and their application to various electronic elements and electrochemical devices has been carried out. Attempts have been made to fabricate ceramics using internal stress and interfaces between different substances, and to fabricate ceramic solids from liquid and gas phases. Attempts have also been made to fabricate ceramics using internal stress and interfaces between different materials, and to fabricate ceramic solids from liquid and gas phases. We comprehensively evaluate the effects of mechanical external force, electric field application as an external field, and electromagnetic wave irradiation on the electromagnetic properties of ceramics.
