Course description and aims

In addition to the perspective of applying material properties to devices, this course covers what properties are desired, and material design for materials with all sorts of properties. The instructor lectures about each aspect of advanced electronics, photonics, and devices that are either in practical use or development such as their materials, production process, and applications such that students can learn about the thought processes involved in development. The course deals with optically and electronically functional materials from the perspective of dielectrics and magnetic bodies, free from categories such as semiconductors and metals, concentrating mainly on items that fall under nanotechnology with forms ranging from bulks to thin film and fine particles, allowing students to discern the direction of future device development. The instructor offers familiar devices such as memory, capacitors, permanent magnets, sensors, and actuators as examples.
The purpose of this course is for students to understand the operating principles of functional devices such as memory, energy conversion devices, etc. that use dielectrics or magnetic bodies that are either in practical use or in development, as well as how the properties of the constituent materials are involved. It is important for students to acquire knowledge related to trends in the research and development of advanced devices, properties, and materials, as well as to understand the importance of material development for device creation.
