Abstract
R&D Center for Hybrid Interface Materials (HIM) granted via Global Frontier program by Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP) conducts intensive researches on the future materials utilizing the hybrid interface to resolve challenging issues of advanced materials for future society.
Hybrid interface technology is to form the connection in electronic, atomic, molecular and structural level among different kind of materials so that new function of materials and/or components can be revealed, and it is to create the future materials of high-performance, hybrid-function and a new feature through design-syntheses-evaluation of interface volume and composition. In this research, we also make attempts for new structure (or composite) of the design, implementation, and evaluation of the hybrid-interface volume materials with convergence of various techniques of materials computation field.
In this talk, recent progress in R&D of the Center is introduced and discussed.
