The fabrication of thin films with nanostructures that have new functions

My research involves using film formation methods such as reactive co-sputtering to create entirely new metals, ceramics, and composites thereof, and investigate their structures and properties. In particular, I vigorously strive to create thin films with previously unimaginable nanostructures, and to impart new functions to these thin films. Specifically, I research new hydrogen-permeable thin films, and window materials and eco materials that change in transparency when hydrogen-permeable thin films are used in them.
