Research Areas
We are exploring functional nanoelectronics that is complementary to the Silicon electronics. The single electron devices, quantum computing devices, spintronics devices and Teraherz(THz) devices are the subjects of our interests, where an electron spin, a nuclear spin and an exciton et al. may be controlled in a single particle level. To realize these devices in nanoscale dimensions, we not only use conventional semiconductor materials, but also use carbon nanotubes and semiconductor nanowires that have extremely small dimensions which is difficult to fabricate with conventional lithography technique. New physics or new functionalities that appear in the nanoscale devices are also our interests.

Research Subject
(1) Development of novel fabrication processes of nanostructures
(2) Fabrication of functional nanodevices and demonstration of their operation
(3) Exploring new functionalities in nanostructures and studying their physics
