Our Interested Fields
1. Crystal Synthesis
Our focus on ultraclean material synthesis is driven by the need for crystals that meet stringent standards of purity and perfection. By advancing these synthesis methods, we aim to produce materials that enable the exploration of novel physical phenomena and contribute to the development of next-generation quantum technologies. Our commitment to excellence in material synthesis ensures that we can push the boundaries of research in the field of condensed matter physics. Therefore, we are dedicated to developing cutting-edge synthesis and characterization techniques to grow the best possible materials.
2. Device Assembly
We employ advanced fabrication techniques to manipulate and harness the unique properties of the crystals we grow. For example, we use bulk van der Waals materials produced in our lab to construct heterostructures that exhibit emergent interfacial phenomena, such as moiré patterns, which significantly alter electronic bands. These artificial heterostructures can be dynamic rather than static. We are developing operando manipulation techniques to capture transient property changes during the reconstruction process of our programmable quantum materials. To protect this fragile quantum matter, we are also developing novel fabrication techniques.
3. Precision Probing
To investigate the unique properties of the artificial heterostructures we assemble, we tailor our measurement techniques to capture the subtle evolution of these properties. Our customized approach encompasses multiple dimensions, including directional multifields (electric field, magnetic field, light field), spatial resolution ranging from macroscopic microscopy to atomic-level precision, and time scales from the continuum down to picoseconds or even femtoseconds.
4. Novel Mechanism Device
To harness the novel mechanisms discovered during precision measurements, we are committed to integrating these mechanisms into functional devices. These devices leverage multiple degrees of freedom, including charge, spin, valley, topology, and more. To fully demonstrate their capabilities, we have also developed fully customized characterization techniques, which have the potential to be generalized for commercial use in the future.
