Technological Objective <strong>and</strong> Development Period: Metal materials technology forextremely precise control of crystal composition (enhanced purification, usefulelement additive, etc.), technology for extremely precise control of crystalorganization (crystal particle control, separation control, etc.), <strong>and</strong> compositionanalysis <strong>and</strong> measurement technologies will be established by FY 2005.Systematization ofthese technologies will be also carried out.4. <strong>Nanotechnology</strong> Particle <strong>Project</strong> FY2001-FY2005<strong>Project</strong> leader: Kikuo Okuyama, Professor, Hiroshima UniversityOutline: The objective of this project is to establish a platform for developingnanoparticle synthesis technology <strong>and</strong> fictionalization process technology fornanoparticles. Such technologies are important for producing nanostructures <strong>and</strong>expressing nanofunctions.Technological Objective <strong>and</strong> Development Period: Basic technology that ensuresuniformity <strong>and</strong> stability in synthesizing single nanometer-sized particles,technology that creates stable functional elements having structure order, <strong>and</strong>device creation <strong>and</strong> analysis technologies will be established by FY 2005.Systematization of these technologies will be also carried out.5. Nanostructure Coating <strong>Project</strong> FY2001-FY2005<strong>Project</strong> leader: Toyonobu Yoshida, Professor, The University of TokyoOutline: This project is aimed at establishing a basis for technology to controlnano- structure in coating processes in order to add new functions to basicmaterials, including inorganic materials <strong>and</strong> metal materials.Technological Objective <strong>and</strong> Development Period: Optimal structural design <strong>and</strong>control technologies for elemental materials that compose coating materials,coating process control technology, <strong>and</strong> coating analysis <strong>and</strong> evaluationtechnologies will be established by FY 2005. Systematization of thesetechnologies will be also carried out.6. Synthetic Nano-Function <strong>Materials</strong> <strong>Project</strong> FY2001-FY2005<strong>Project</strong> leader: Hiroshi Yokoyama, Director, AISTOutline: This project is being undertaken to explore <strong>and</strong> utilize nano-scalestructure-function relationships in order to develop technologies that design <strong>and</strong>synthesize optical functions, electronic <strong>and</strong> spin functions, <strong>and</strong> molecularfunctions.5
