Research Topics
At Anh’s lab, we develop innovative material platforms and devices by combining functional materials through MBE-based thin-film heterostructure growth and advanced processing.
Our research spans magnetic, topological, and superconducting properties, pioneering new fields across materials science, physics, device technology, and quantum information. We tackle cutting-edge, challenging themes that push scientific boundaries.
Recent research topics:
- Crystal growth of epitaxial ferromagnetic metal/semiconductor heterostructures on semiconductors and their physical properties and device applications
- Crystal growth of superconducting metal/ferromagnetic semiconductor heterostructures on semiconductors and creation of topological superconducting properties
- Fabrication of superconductor/topological material heterojunctions and realization of superconducting diode effect
- Realization of single-element topological Dirac semimetal with world’s highest mobility and study of nonreciprocal transport phenomena
- Discovery of new electronic conduction phenomena in non-magnetic InAs/ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Fe)Sb heterojunctions
- Fabrication and physical property evaluation of oxide membranes by exfoliation method
Ongoing Research Projects
Oxide-based Electronics
We develop oxide-based devices utilizing functional oxide materials and high-mobility transport channels at their interfaces, in which the control of oxygen atoms plays a vital role. These interfacial channels are promising for high efficient spin-to-charge conversion, high-speed transistors, and flexible electronic devices.
Exploring new topological materials
We exploring the growth and novel physics of new topological materials, including topological Dirac and Weyl semimetals, topological insulators, and their heterostructures.
Superconductor/Ferromagnetic Semiconductor Hybrid Structures
We aim to integrate “Superconductivity” and “Ferromagnetism” onto a single semiconductor platform, by developing heterostructures of s-wave superconductors (SC) and Fe-doped ferromagnetic semiconductors (FMS).
Semiconductor-based Spintronics
We aim to utilize the spin degrees of freedom in artificially synthesized materials, with the main spotlight shed on ferromagnetic semiconductors (FMSs).
