Since quantum interferences such as Aharonov-Bohm effect are observed in solid systems, development of quantum devices utilizing wave nature of flying electrons has been one of the most intriguing and longstanding issues of solid state physics. However, quantum interferences in solid systems suffer from complicated multi-path scattering and many body interactions. Researchers therefore found it difficult to transfer or control quantum states of individual propagating electrons. In this article, we present new technologies to overcome such difficulties and to transfer and control quantum information possessed by each flying electron. These open avenues towards quantum electron optics, in which quantum optics like experiments are performed with flying electrons in a single electron unit.

Physical properties of fusion and space plasmas are significantly influenced by background magnetic fields. The gyrokinetic theory is a basic framework for describing microinstabilities and turbulence in these magnetized plasmas. In the gyrokinetic theory, particles' distribution functions are averaged with respect to the angle variables associated with particles' gyromotion around magnetic field lines and the dimension of the treated phase space is reduced so that theoretical analyses and numerical simulations can be simplified. Besides primary kinetic effects such as particles' orbits in complex magnetic configurations, finite gyroradii, and Landau damping due to resonant wave-particle interaction are accurately described by the gyrokinetic model. Therefore, theoretical and simulation researches based on the gyro-kinetics have been actively done in the fields of turbulent transport in fusion plasmas and spectral analyses of space plasma turbulence.

Although silicon and carbon are homologous elements, we had rarely heard about the Si-counterpart of graphite. But in 2012, experimental evidence for the existence of a Si-version of graphene, "silicene", was reported by several groups. Silicene is expected to possess electronic properties exotic as those of graphene, but on the other hand, its crystal structure is flexible because it can be buckled. In this article, we will introduce this new two-dimensional material, silicene, which is in some aspects similar to, but also different from graphene.

Exfoliation and adhesion are a daily ordinary phenomenon. However, these exhibit irregular behaviors on the atomic- and molecular-scale. In this article, we introduce that a carbon nanotube and a graphene exhibit atomic-scale movements on a graphite substrate, in which stick-slip sliding occurs at the atomic scale while maintaining AB-stacking registry with the graphite substrate. It is expected that the study on exfoliation and adhesion provides control of friction, a stronger adhesion and an easier exfoliation than those of a gecko foot and applications for nanomachine and biomolecular motor.

Multi-component chalcogenides, such as Ge_2Sb_2Te_5, are potentially used in optical data storage media in the forms of rewritable DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. Irradiating Ge_2Sb_2Te_5 with laser pulses induces phase transition between the amorphous and crystal. Since optical reflectivity is significantly different in the two states, the material has been used in optical memories. Recently, by monitoring coherent phonons excited by femtosecond laser pulses in Ge_2Sb_2Te_5, it becomes possible to induce and observe the phase transition in the ultrafast time scale of sub-picoseconds. Here we report the recent progress of the ultrafast phase transition observed in optical data storage media.

We found that the ferromagnetism in Co ultra-thin film can be switched on and off isothermally and reversible way by applying a gate voltage thorough an insulator layer. This is attributed to the change in electron density at the surface of Co film. In this manuscript, we discuss the recent experimental results of electric field effect on magnetism in transition metals.
