ABOUT US
In the Miyajima group, we focus on thin-film deposition techniques, such as sputtering, vacuum evaporation, and close-spaced sublimation, for semiconductor devices, including photovoltaic devices. We investigate wide-bandgap light-absorbing materials for photovoltaic power converters in blue-light optical wireless power transmission (OWPT), quantum-cutting phosphors, high-quality interface formation using low-damage sputtering technologies, and copper oxide-based materials. Additionally, we have begun working on thin-film deposition simulations, while the former Yamada Group continues to advance research on chalcopyrite-based materials.
