Subject Group of
Materials Science
and Engineering |
 |
The subject group is composed of 3 research groups, Materials Design, Eco-Materials and Energy Materials, and has strong relation with Energy Conversion Materials Research Center and cooperative laboratories. These groups consist of 13 laboratories, and their activities cover the designing and characterizing of new materials and the controlling of material functions. The subject group is well equipped with a computerized system for materials studies, mass spectrometers, FT-IR spectrometers, X-ray diffraction apparatus, scanning electron microscopes, high-voltage microscope, high-resolution microscopes and X-ray photoelectron spectrometers.
