The participants in this field of study are as follows: Group A01 will synthesize molecules that will be used as the raw materials, Group A02 will conduct research on the interface between a molecule and electrode, Group A03 will elucidate the characteristics of the devices, and Group A04 will design the intended functions of the systems. Because each group needs to proceed with their respective research while closely interacting with the other groups, a joint research promotion committee will be established for proactive cooperation.
