Outline of Research at the Start |
イットリウム酸水素化物薄膜において光照射による可逆的な5桁の抵抗変化を見出し、新奇光センサや抵抗・磁気メモリの応用を目指している。次なるステップとして、本研究では希土類酸水素化物における多機能なフォトクロミック素子応用を志向し、「光キャリア生成機構と磁気特性の解明」、「可逆的な透過・反射特性および金属化」「強磁性化」の実現を目指す。

Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we demonstrated repeatable photoinduced insulator-to-metal transition of rare-earth metal oxyhydrides using ultraviolet laser illumination for the first time. This permanent photoconductivity can be switched to the original insulating states by thermal annealing in argon atmosphere at 120oC for 2h. To investigate this photoinduced metallization, we performed high-resolution measurements including compositional and structural analysis based on sparse modeling technique, and obtained reliable structural models for theoretical calculations. The theoretical calculations reveals that excess hydrogen in the films can generate itinerant photocarriers, leading to metallic conduction. Thus, we succeeded in the exotic functions based on hydrogen in rare-earth metal oxyhydrides.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
光による絶縁体から金属へのスイッチングを繰り返し行った例は、どの物質においても世界で初めての成果である(プレスリリース済み)。未発表ではあるが、任意のタイミングにおける絶縁化の時間短縮にも成功しており、スマートウィンドウや光センサ・光メモリ応用につながる画期的な成果である。
