Solid-state chemistry for transition-metal oxides: Exploring for new materials with novel functionalities

具有优异性能的新材料的发现推动了现代化学、物理学和材料科学的发展。开发未来的信息和能源技术也强烈需要具有新功能的新材料。我们合作项目的总体目标是发现具有有趣和有用性质的新氧化物。材料合成团队与结构表征团队的强强联合，将引领战略固态化学的发展。该合作小组由下列研究员组成：首席研究员岛川雄一教授(日本)京都大学化学研究所海外首席研究员：J.Paul Attfield教授(英国)极端条件科学中心和爱丁堡大学化学学院。维尔纳·保卢斯(法国)蒙彼利埃大学查尔斯·格哈特研究所2教授。Hidnowi Takagi(德国)马克斯-普朗克固态研究所，斯图加特教授。国立台湾大学化学系刘如实(台湾)其他日本团体(东京的Hiroi和京都的Kageyama)也将参加。来自这些小组的50人将参与其中，更多的合作者和感兴趣的科学家将有机会参加由该联盟举办的会议。

The discovery of new materials with outstanding properties motivates much of modern chemistry, physics and materials science. New materials with novel functionalities are also strongly demanded for developing future information and energy technologies. The general aim of our collaboration project is to discover new oxides having interesting and useful properties. Strong collaboration of materials synthesis teams and structure characterization teams will lead to development of "strategic solid-state chemistry". This collaborative team consists of the following investigators;Principal Investigator:Prof. Yuichi Shimakawa (Japan)Institute for Chemical Research, Kyoto UniversityOverseas Lead Investigators:Prof. J. Paul Attfield (UK)Centre for Science at Extreme Conditions and School of Chemistry, University of Edinburgh.Prof. Werner Paulus (France)Institute Charles Gerhardt, University of Montpellier 2Prof. Hidenori Takagi (Germany)Max-Planck-Institute for solid state research, StuttgartProf. Ru-Shi Liu (Taiwan)Department of Chemistry, National Taiwan UniversityOther Japanese groups (Hiroi, Tokyo and Kageyama, Kyoto) will also participate.Approx. 50 people from these groups will be involved, and many more collaborators and interested scientists will have the opportunity to participate in meetings run by this consortium.
