Acknowledgment
The thesis marks the end of a long and memorable journey that I could not have
completed without the dedicated support of my supervisors and peer colleges. My
heartfelt thanks go to my supervisor prof. Satoshi Iikubo for his consistent and helpful
support throughout my PhD studies. I would want to thank him for his patience, help,
empathy, and academic professions. He provided me with excellent chances and advice
in writing papers, and he also spent significant amount of time reviewing my papers and
proving me with constructive feedback to help me better my work.
I would like to express my gratitude to Assistant Professor Hiroshi Akamine, and
Assistant Professor Qin Wang of Kyushu University for their helpful discussions
throughout this study.
I would also like thank Prof. Miki Inada of Kyushu University, Prof. Yuki shirosaki of
Kyushu Institute of Technology, and students from their laboratory for their helpful
feedback and advice, which have help me develop solid arguments in my thesis.
I would also like thank Prof. Tatsuya Tokunaga and Dr. Yichen Zhang of Kyushu
Institute of Technology, who support me for synthesis of Cu-La alloys.
I would also like thank Mr. Takeshi Tojigamori, Hidenori Miki, and Mr. Kousuke Noi
of Toyota motor corporation for their helpful discussions throughout this study.
I would also like thank the support from The Ultramicroscopy Research Center of
Kyushu university.
I would also like thank students and staffs in the same laboratory for their kindness and
obliging.
I would also like to thank my dear parents for their encouragement and support.
