Electrons, when confined in a nanometer-sized space (1 nanometer = 10-9 m), remarkably begin to behave like waves. For example, an organic molecule can be considered as a quantum state in which electrons are confined in an nm space consisting of atoms connected together. Semiconductor nanoparticles show colors different from those of bulk solids due to this quantum size effect. The Quantum Materials Science Laboratory studies molecules, crystals, nanoparticles, and ultrathin films of both organic and inorganic materials, utilizes various optics-based experimental approaches to clarify material properties from the viewpoint of quantum physics, and aims to create new functional materials that will be used in optical information-communication or environment-conscious devices in the future.

This graduate school was established as a new graduate school in April 2016 by progressively integrating and expanding the Department of Functional Polymer Engineering and the Department of Organic Device Engineering of the Graduate School of Science and Engineering. It consists of one major, the Department of Organic Material Systems, and strives for consistency of education in cooperation with the education system of the Department of Polymer and Organic Material Engineering, Faculty of Engineering. Amid the diversification of manufacturing and the sophistication of technology, we aim to improve the planning ability of new functional materials required of leaders who can win standardization at the world level, and the communication ability through participation in international conferences, etc., globally. We are conducting education and research on human resource development aimed at leaders. We request highly specialized professionals who can lead the world by making the most of the environment where we can get close to the cutting edge of the organic material system field.

The TAC-MI program is a seamless educational program provided throughout graduate learning. It aims to empower students to become multitalented individuals capable of promoting creative, interdisciplinary research in materials science and informatics. The program, in collaboration with partners from industry and the National Institute for Materials Science, will enable students to connect information and materials* by utilizing information science and multifaceted thinking, as well as by taking a broad perspective. Students will have the potential to become informatics experts, inventors of original materials, and creators of new industries. We expect our students to take a leading role in the ‘complex space’ of a transdisciplinary framework as multitalented individuals that includes materials science, information science, and services to society, pursuing a path toward sustainability. * In this context, “materials” refers not only to material goods and chemical compounds but also to devices and processes. The program empowers students to think from a broad perspective free from a traditional classification of materials, devices/processes, and social services as they can easily cross the boundaries of “materials science” and “informatics”. These individuals not only create new products and services but are passionate about contributing to a sustainable society.

For the continuing advancement of mankind, we should establish materials cycles and energy flows that harmonize with nature. In this course, students study the design, synthesis, and practical use of environment-conscious materials which require less energy for production and which can safely enter the earth's ecosystem. Aiming at fostering distinguished researchers and engineers to create and manage the next generation's fundamental material technology, this course provides education for the creation of new materials and the methods and technologies required to assess such new materials' characteristics.
