Advanced Materials for Energy and Related Areas Exercise 1

The development of electrical engineering supporting today’s sophisticated technology and information society owes much to the rapid advances in modern electrical, electronic, and optical materials. While focus of research will be placed on electrical and electronic properties mainly of dielectric and insulating materials, study will not be limited to electrical equipment. Research will be conducted in a wide range of materials used in the energy field and information transmission field among others, and new applications for electrical equipment engineering will be considered. Specifically, research will be conducted relating to high dielectric thin films, optical waveguide materials, and luminescent silicon, among others.
