Hideo Hosono (細野秀雄, Hosono Hideo, born September 7, 1953) is a Japanese material scientist most known for the discovery of iron-based superconductors. [1] [2]
Hosono was born in September 1953 in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, one of the satellite cities of Tokyo. Dropped out of high school (National Institute of Technology, Tokyo College) in 1974, graduated from the Department of Industrial Chemistry of Tokyo Metropolitan University (TMU) in 1977, and obtained a doctorate in engineering from TMU in 1982.
Hosono is also a pioneer in developing transparent oxide semiconductors: he proposed a material design concept for a transparent amorphous oxide semiconductor (TAOS) with large electron mobility, demonstrated the excellent performance of TAOS thin film transistors for next generation displays and successfully converted a cement constituent 12CaO·7Al2O3 into transparent semiconductor, metal, and eventually superconductors. [3] [4] [5]
According to the Web of Science, Hideo Hosono has co-authored 5 articles with more than 1000 citations each (as of September 2019):
