Elemental analyses are important methods for the determination of the chemical compositions of samples, both organic and inorganic. This team accepts the samples for the quantitative analysis. We are improving degradation method of the samples for rapid and accurate analysis. X-ray analysis and electrom microscopy are also important methods for these purposes. We are trying to observe air-sensitive and/or disorderd materials. We are studying the catalytic activities of metal clusters and the emission process of organic electroluminescent materials. Based on these experiences and acuired techniques, we are supporting a wide varieties of researches in the field of chemistry and others.
