The objective of this lecture course is to learn about the rich variety of physical properties that appear in transition metal oxides. The lectures gives a brief introduction to the structure and composition of many common oxide materials. The transport, dielectric, superconducting, magnetic, and optical properties of various transition-metal oxides are discussed from the point of view of the underlying physics and potential applications.

金属イオンと配位子からなる金属錯体は、中心金属の電子状態の多様性と（有機）配位子の構造多様性が組み合わさることで多彩な構造、性質、機能を示す。本講義では金属錯体の構造、物性、反応に関する基礎的な知識を習得し、関連する基本原理について理解を深めることを目的とする。 Metal complexes, which are composed of metal ions and ligands, exhibit a wide variety of structures, properties, and functions due to the combination of the diversity of electronic states of the central metal and the structural diversity of the (organic) ligands. This lecture aims to provide basic knowledge of structures, properties, and reactions of metal complexes and to deepen understanding of related fundamental principles.

This interdisciplinary course bridges the fields of advanced materials science and electrochemical energy storage, focusing on the synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors and their transformative role in next-generation battery technologies. As global demands intensify for high-performance electronics and sustainable energy solutions, 2D materials like transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), graphene derivatives, and BCN compounds are revolutionizing both semiconductor devices and battery systems. The course is structured into two integrated modules: The first module delves into the controlled synthesis of 2D materials using techniques such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), emphasizing the atomic-scale mechanisms that dictate material properties. The second module focuses on the structure-property relationship between electrolytes and electrodes in next-generation batteries. This part explores how the structural features of materials—ranging from atomic arrangements to nanoscale morphologies—directly influence key electrochemical properties such as ionic conductivity, charge transfer kinetics, and battery performance. Through lectures, laboratory experiments, and collaborative projects, students will gain both theoretical insights and hands-on experience in synthesizing advanced materials and understanding the fundamental interfacial phenomena that govern energy storage devices. ------------------------------------------------------------ ※このゼミは4月7日（月）6限（18：45～）Zoomで行われる工学部合同説明会への参加を予定しています。 ZoomのURLは後日UTAS掲示板のお知らせにて周知いたします。 ------------------------------------------------------------

The knowledge of biomaterials is critical for the creation of novel medical devices. The purpose of the course is to systematically study the properties and characterization of basic materials used in the conventional medical devices, including metals, ceramics and polymers. In addition, the design principles of biomaterials for applications in various advanced medical devices (artificial organ, medical diagnosis devices, drug delivery system (DDS)) will be examined.

地球惑星内部の高温高圧極限条件下における物質の構造・物性・相転移など、高圧鉱物物理学の必修項目を熱統計力学や量子化学の基礎的内容をもとに解説する。計算機シミュレーションを用いてこれらの性質を非経験的に、すなわち第一原理から予測する手法についても概説する。また、これらの地球惑星内部物質の性質から、地球や惑星の内部構造やダイナミクス、さらにはその形成と進化を如何に理解するか、その最先端を解説する。 The essence of high-pressure mineral physics, such as the structure and properties of the Earth and planetary materials under extremely high pressure and temperature conditions, is explained with the basics of thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, and statistical physics. By comparing mineral-physics data with geophysical observations, it will be clarified that the structure, dynamics, and evolution of the Earth and planetary interiors are controlled by the properties of their constituent materials.
