WUHAN, China (April 10, 2019) - Wuhan Optoelectronics Forum No. 154 was successfully held in Auditorium A101 at Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO) in the morning of April 10. Prof. Hideo Hosono from Tokyo Institute of Technology delivered an exciting talk entitled Attraction and Impact of New Materials Research. Dr. Zewen Xiao, from WNLO chaired the forum. Prof. Jun Zhou, Deputy Director of WNLO, awarded Prof. Hideo Hosono the forum medal.
Highlights of this research are summarized as follows:(1) Creation of high Tc Iron-based superconductors Iron with large magnetic moment was believed to be harmful for emergence of superconductivity；(2) Creation of transparent oxide semiconductors and practical implementation to displays TFTs with amorphous oxide semiconductors represented by IGZO are used to drive large-sized OLED TV et al.；(3) Realization of RT stable electride and electride catalyst for ammonia synthesis at condition Research of electride materials is a topic in materials science In this lecture, I introduce three research lights along with motivation and fundamental idea.
Dr. Hideo Hosono is a honorary institute professor and the founding director of Materials Research Center for Element Strategy, Tokyo Institute of Technology. He is a foreign fellow of Royal Society of London, a highly cited researcher and have received many awards including Japan Prize, Von Hippel Prize (MRS), James McGroddy Prize (APS), Jan Raychman Prize (SID), Thomson-Reuter Citation Award in Physics.
