RESEARCH
We are interested in exploring the emergent physical properties of novel
nanostructured materials that arise from the fundamental symmetries, interactions
and nano-scale confinement. Our research encompasses the nanomaterial synthesis,
nano-device fabrication and nano-scale measurement. The nanostructures
include 1-D nanowires, 2-D nanoplates, thin films, and their heterostructures
and superlattices. We are particularly interested in their structural,
electrical, magnetic and thermoelectric properties as well as the unique couplings
of these
properties at the nano-scale. The material systems
that we are currently interested in include:
-
Correlated Metal Oxides
with Strong Spin-orbit Coupling
-
Topological Crystalline
Insulators and Semimetals
-
Low-dimensional Ferromagnetic
Semiconductors
-
Kitaev materials
