Chikamatsu gave an invited talk titled “Bismuth iron oxyfluoride thin films prepared by topochemical reaction and their room temperature multiferroic properties” at The 14th Industry-Academia Collaboration Subcommittee of the Fluorine Chemistry Society of Japan held at Ochanomizu University in Tokyo.

Chikamatsu gave a special lecture entitled “Modulation of Physical Properties of Transition Metal Oxide Thin Films by Fluorine Doping” at the graduate course “The World of Science from Physics 1” held at Katsushika Campus, Tokyo University of Science.

M2 Kamigaito, M2 Sano, M1 Nakano, and M1 Hagiwara gave poster presentations and Chikamatsu gave a special lecture on diversity at the 2024 Kanto Branch Conference of the Japan Society of Vacuum and Surface Science at Waseda University.

Miori Kishi, a new fourth-year student in the Department of Chemistry, and Lan Yao, a research student, have been assigned as members for the fiscal year 2024.
I look forward to working with them.
