The
central theme of the research is to investigate the magnetic and
electrical
transport of novel spintronic materials, topological condensed
matter systems, thin film structures and
devices.
The
main research facilities in this lab:
- A three-gun
UHV co-sputtering system.
- A six-gun UHV
sputtering system
- A MBE system for
semiconductor thin film grow (Shared with Professor Lew Wen Siang)
- A Physical Property
Measurement System (Quantum Design, temperature range form 1.9K to
400K, magnetic field up to 9 Tesla)
- A home-made Point
Contact Andreev Reflection System to measure the spin polarization of
materials
- A modified Bridgeman
single crystal growth furnace
High
resolution XRD, AFM, TEM, SEM, etc are utilized for sample
characterization.
Devices are fabricated using lithography technique.
Main
research Areas:
- Novel
magnetic materials and spintronic devices: Our research involves in
investigating half metallic ferromagnet, dilute magnetic
system and strongly correlated electron system.
Currently, our research focuses on single phase and heterostructure
multiferroic systems and devices.
- Spin
injection, spin transport and spin dynamics in Si
and GaAs based spintronic devices. We
will utilize both magneto optical methods and electrical methods to
detect the spin transport and spin dynamics in Si and GaAs based
spintronic devices.
- Spin
and electron transport and dynamics
in topological condensed matter system.
Opening:
One graduate student scholarship is available. Students with strong
condensed matter theoretical background are preferred. No experimental
experience is required (which can be easily trained in my lab).
