Our group carries research on low dimensional functional materials design and synthesis, property investigation, and device realization for electronic, energy and biological applications. Novel materials' properties as induced by the small size, low dimensionality, surface/interface, and specific geometrical configurations are of our research interests.
A variety of synthesis techniques and their related facilities are available for the functional material synthesis, including wet-chemistry based methods, electro-chemical, chemical vapor transport deposition, magnetron sputtering, ion beam sputtering, ion implantation, etc.
Our advanced microscopy facilities allow detailed characterizations of the materials' morphology and microstructures. An electron energy loss spectrometer attached to the high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscope enables the local electronic structure analysis being performed simultaneously with the microstructure characterization and at excellent spatial resolution (down to subnanometer scale).
