Acknowledgements
Firstly, I would like to express my utmost appreciation to my supervisor Professor Sumiko
Watanabe for offering me an opportunity to undertake this PhD study and providing generous
supports. Without her complete trust and continuous encouragement, I would not be able to
commence this PhD program, let alone having such great scientific experience. Always and
forever, I will remember Sumiko sensei and our laboratory.
Secondly, I am sincerely grateful to my advisor
Dr. Toshiro Iwagawa for his perfect
scientific knowledge teaching, effective guidance, and invaluable inspiration throughout the
whole process, all of which are essential for the completion of this thesis and my PhD
program.
Thirdly, I would like to thank Professor Yutaka Suzuki and Dr. Masaya Fukushima for
their contribution to this thesis, and all the other lovely lab members for their always generous
help.
I would also like to acknowledge my country China and the China Scholarship Council
(CSC) for providing sufficient scholarship that supports my living here in Japan.
Last but by no means least, my heartfelt thanks go to my parents
Deng yuanwen and
Luo lin for their deep love and wholehearted support, which inspired me to pursue my ideal,
and to be a better person.
