Research Activities
My research subject is synthesis and exploration of functional physics in topological materials, a new class of materials that recently is emerged as a result from the fusion of quantum mechanics and topology. Specifically, I synthesize high-quality thin film samples using the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method. I explore functional quantum responses such as dissipationless quantum conduction occurring at surfaces and interfaces, as well as spintronics properties, which involve manipulating magnetic spin with electric current.
