Research
We are studying the physics and chemistry of semiconductor surfaces and interfaces by means of our original large-scale atomistic simulation techniques. We are also planning to start experimental studies on the surface processes with scanning tunneling microscopy. Our research interest is oriented toward basic condensed-matter physics, but we focus on the important issues in the application of forefront semiconductor electronics. Nowadays, wide range of elements in the periodic table is surveyed in microelectronics, so that a further powerful atomistic simulation method is required to boost the material designing. The development of such a new, highly transferable atomistic simulation technique is one of main targets of our researches.
