Assistant Professor Fujitani encourages students to bring curiosity and initiative to their experiments and coursework. His research investigates the novel physical properties that arise when transition-metal oxides are integrated with silicon, and explores how these properties can be applied in devices ranging from advanced semiconductors to healthcare and medical technologies.

What students can learn

In this laboratory, students acquire hands-on skills in thin-film fabrication and in the evaluation and analysis techniques essential to engineering practice, gain experience with advanced X-ray experiments conducted at the NewSUBARU and SPring-8 facilities, and develop familiarity with processing techniques spanning the nanoscale to the microscale.

This research combines metal oxides with silicon to generate new physical properties and, building on them, to develop multifunctional electronic devices. Advanced X-ray analysis is applied to clarify the properties arising from electronic correlations within transition-metal oxides. Extending device design beyond silicon alone is expected to contribute to lower power consumption, enhanced functionality and performance, more efficient use of resources, and broader technological innovation.
