Solid state ionics: a Japan perspective

The 70-year history of scientific endeavor of solid state ionics research in Japan is reviewed to show the contribution of Japanese scientists to the basic science of solid state ionics and its applications. The term 'solid state ionics' was defined by Takehiko Takahashi of Nagoya University, Japan: it refers to ions in solids, especially solids that exhibit high ionic conductivity at a fairly ...

Carbon nanotube electronics and photonics

© 2009 American Institute of Physics, S-0031-9228-0901-020-5 Since the demonstration of the first transistors in 1947, computing electronics has been based mostly on one material, silicon. The emergence of MOSFETs in the 1960s and the development of microlithography and other fabrication techniques have allowed the continuous miniaturization of silicon devices. The resulting increases in densit...

Tunable graphene based optics, electronics and photonics

Graphene, which consists of a single atom-thick plane of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice, exhibits unique both " bulk " and " surface " properties of materials due to its tunable electronic structure. In this talk, I would like to present the tunable platform of graphene-based materials including graphene and graphene oxide in optical, electronic and photonic applications by manipu...

Progress in Ultrafast Photonics

Recent progress in ultrafast photonics is reviewed with special emphasis on the research and development activities in Japanese research institutions in the field of optical communication and related measurement technologies. After summarizing the physical natures of ultrashort optical pulses, selected topics are reviewed on such as (1) ultrahigh-bit-rate optical communication employing the com...
