Scope:

Transition metal compounds exhibit diverse crystal structures and electronic configurations formed by a wide range of chemical bonds. Due to the unique electronic states and orbitals of transition metal elements, these compounds demonstrate various physical and material properties. Therefore, they have garnered attention as potential materials for superconductors, topological materials, semiconductors, magnetic materials, optical materials, and catalysts, and are being studied in a broad range of fields, from basic research to the development of industrial materials. Additionally, researchers are vigorously exploring new materials that exhibit unprecedented crystal structures, physical properties, and functions such as oxides, nitrides, halides, complex anionic compounds, and intermetallic compounds.
This session will focus on the transition metal compounds obtained through advanced synthetic methods and unique reaction fields, their unique crystal structures, physical and material properties, and electronic structures revealed through advanced measurement techniques using quantum beams and computational science. Researchers in the fields of solid-state chemistry and condensed matter physics, applied physics, and computational science will come together to present their current research results and discuss them from the perspectives of their respective fields, thereby deepening our understanding of transition metal compounds and promoting their integrated development.
