Abstract
Basicity is a measure of electron donating ability, which is associated with electron density of a material, and it is hence expected that physical and chemical properties are correlated with atomic structure of materials through basicity. In this presentation, various studies concerning basicity which have been done in the author's research group will be introduced. The research outcomes, such as, basicity evaluation by XPS, relation between basicity and glass structure, material and process design based on basicity are shown.
