Work Function and Band Alignment of Electrode Materials

Dr. Michiko Yoshitake has worked on surfaces and thin films using ultrahigh vacuum instruments for more than 30 years. Her main focus has been the establishment of various prediction methods of either phenomena or material properties rather than the development of materials. She also has long experience in surface analysis, especially in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
