Profile My specialty is fundamental physics, crystal growth and device applications of semiconductors such as transition metal dichalcogenides and group IV materials. In particular, I have an interest in researches on investigation of optical properties and development of functional optoelectronic devices on two-dimensional (2D) materials. Recently, van der Waals heterostrutures, which are obtained by artificially and arbitrarily stacking the 2D materials like graphene, hexagonal boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides have attracting considerable attentions for emergence of intrinsic characterizations and novel functionalities in 2D materials. Therefore, I am studying about valley polarization, which is one of specific properties in two dimensional materials. I have skills to stack the 2D materials and some optical measurement systems of photo- and electroluminsecence at 20 - 300 K, time-resolved photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy.
In device applications, I have some knowledges of transistors, photovoltaics and light emitting diodes.
Research Field(Keyword & Summary)
  1. (1)Atomically thin-layered materials

    The aim of this research is to realize functional optoelectronic devices by utilizing 2D materials, which are a new stage of research in materials science. 2D materials where graphene is a representative material, are crystals composed of one atomic layer sheet. Among various 2D materials, semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides are the most central materials for realization of functional optoelectronic devices owing to unique properties of extraordinarily large excitonic binding energy and valley polarization. In this study, we investigate the fundamental optical properties of TMDs in detail, and aim to use their properties to develop circularly polarized light emitting diode.
