Since then, the Institute has developed into one of the leading research organizations for science and engineering in our country. We aim at the creation of new industries through Inter–Nanoscience, which integrates nanomaterial, IT nanotechnology, nano-biotechnology, energy, environmental engineering and information science to the next generations. At present (Mar.2006), ISIR has 28 research departments in the Institute and 4 divisions including 16 departments in the Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Center. Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Center is one of the leading research organizations in Japan for “Nanoscience and Nanotechnology” which is key technology now and future. ISIR keeps making a progress for the development of “Honorable Science” and “Advantageous Technology”. This publication "Memoirs of the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research (ISIR)" is our annual publication summarizing the scientific activities of ISIR. It has witnessed the sixty-five years’ history of the Institute, since it was published in 1940. We report here information such as current research programs and recent findings of each laboratory, list of publications, financial supports from granting agencies, and all other scientific activities. We hope this annual publication will be useful and stimulating for all researchers and young scientists outside as well as inside our Institute. Tomoji Kawai Director, The Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research - 1 - Outline of ISIR 1. Research Activities 1) History and Organization The Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research (ISIR) was founded in 1939 as a part of Osaka University, in response to the strong requests from the industrial community of the Kansai area in Japan. The original buildings were constructed in Sakai supported financially by an association of leading private enterprises in Osaka. ISIR moved to the present place in Suita Campus in 1968. For more than half a century, ISIR has been very active as a University-associated research Institute, and dedicated to the advance of basic and applied sciences, especially in the fields of electronics, computer science, metallurgy, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and radiation science. The Institute also has been developing industrial applications of the results obtained by staff members. In April 1995, ISIR was reorganized in order to respond effectively to the highly developed science and technology in this country. It has modified its structure to expand basic original research, and to promote interdisciplinary programs based on the three major fields: material sciences, information sciences, and biological sciences. A new building was constructed in 2001 and in 2003 in response to the increased number of scientists and the development of Nanotechnology, respectively. At present, ISIR has 28 research departments in the Institute and 4 divisions including 16 departments in the Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Center. The Nanotechnology and Nanoscience Center has started in April 2002. In April 2005, Materials Science and Technology Research Center for Industrial Creation has started in order to promote technology transfer from ISIR to the industry. At the same time, ISIR has established AIR-office (Academia Industry Relations Office) to make the most of our fruits of research for industries. The number of staff scientists is 127 in total, including full professors, associate professors, and assistant professors. Ages and Alma Maters of professors and research staff are shown below. In almost all the large national universities in this country, most of the faculties are graduates of their own university. However, more than half of the staff scientists in ISIR were graduated from other universities. This is a characteristic of ISIR, and contributes to promoting scientific activities of the Institute. - 2 - Divisions Departments Quantum Engineering Quantum Molecular Devices Photonic and Electronic Materials Semiconductor Electronics Condensed Matter Physics Advanced Materials Structural Characterization and Design Science & Technology Metallic Materials Process Atomic Scale Science Functional Ceramic Materials Structure Ceramic Materials Advanced-Energy Materials Organic Molecular Science Regulatory Bioorganic Chemistry Organic Fine Chemicals Organic Molecular Materials Molecular Excitation Chemistry Synthetic Organic Chemistry Analytical Molecular Chemistry Intelligent Systems Science Knowledge Systems Intelligent Media Architecture for Intelligence Advanced Reasoning Biological Science Structural Molecular Biology Single Molecule Biophysics Cell Membrane Biology Quantum Beam Accelerator Science Science & Technology Beam Materials Science Next Industry Generation New Industrial Projection New Industry Generation Systems Intellectual Property Research Research Centers (Three Centers) Nanoscience and Nanomaterials and Nanodevices Nanotechnology Center Artificial Nanomaterials for Bio-Information Systems Single-Molecular Integrated Devices Supramolecular Chemistry Nanobiology Nanosystem Design - 3 - Beam Science for Nanotechnology Beam Science and Nanofabrication Quantum Beams for Nanotechnology Beam Processing for Nanotechnology Ultrafast Spectroscopy of Nanostructures Nanoscience and Nanotechnology for Industrial Applications Nanomaterials and Environmentally Conscious Technology Computational Nanomaterials Design Nano-Bio-Intelligent Systems Science Nanotechnology Transfer Nanocharacterization Advanced Nanostructural Characterization Advanced Characterization for Nano-Processing Quantum Materials and Devices Characterization Open Laboratory Radiation Laboratory Electron Microscope Laboratory Electronic Processing Laboratory Nanofabrication Shop Nanotechnology Process Foundry Materials Analysis Center Materials Science & Technology Materials Research Project Research Center for Industrial iiHard Materials Research Group Creation iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiSoft Materials Research Group Human Interface Research for Safety and Security Project Medical Sciences Research Group Human Interface Research Group Service Facilities Workshop Office of Information Network Laboratory for Radio-Isotope Experiments Library Academia Industry Relations Office Public Relations Office - 4 - Staffs’ Age (years old) –As of 3.30.2006 35～44 60～63 30～34 60～63 50～59 45～49 1 1 4 3 45～49 2 5 5 35～39 No. No. 14 8 55～59 8 50～54 40～44 12 Professors Associate Professors 60～63 55～59 25～29 50～54 2 6 9 45～49 2 3 40～ 44 3 No. 30～34 11 35～39 28 Research Associataes Staffs’ Alma Mater –As of 3.30.2006 Foreign Univ.

The term of the Director is two years. Reappointment is possible, but the Director cannot be in the position for more than four years. The Director as of March 31, 2006 is Professor Tomoji Kawai. Important matters of ISIR are discussed and determined by the Faculty Council, which consists of the Director and all professors of ISIR. Various committees such as International Exchange, Self-Review, Circumstances and so on are working for each purpose. Administration of the Institute-associated Centers is conducted by Director
