The complexity of modern social activities has increased, and the demand for high performance and advanced functionality in materials and devices is accelerating across various fields such as resources, energy, environment, and information and communication technologies. By effectively utilizing the response characteristics of materials to external stimuli such as light and voltage, research and development have been conducted on a range of functional materials and devices. Recently, there has been a focus on constructing next-generation materials and devices that use distinct physical properties different from those of bulk materials with high three-dimensionality. This has led to exploration research and practical application research across a wide range of fields. This symposium aims to provide a platform for exchanging and discussing research and development achievements related to new materials that are expected to play a central role in the next-generation electronics field. In particular, it will focus on quantum dots, nanocrystals, one-dimensional materials, two-dimensional layered compounds, and thin film materials, and the devices utilizing their unique physical properties. This symposium seeks to discuss one direction for the research and development of next-generation functional materials and devices.
