My research area is
experimental condensed matter physics with an emphasis on physical properties
and applications of nanoscale low-dimensional
materials. The
unique properties of low dimensional systems are generally understood by considering
enhanced quantum effects and increased correlations due to the reduction of
available phase space. The focus of my research is the mesoscopic
investigation of transport phenomena, particularly, electric, thermal and thermoelectrical properties of low dimensional nanoscale materials. The recent availability of
novel nanoscale materials, such as fullerenes,
carbon nanotubes, nanowires, nanocrystals,
and atomically thin 2-dimensional crystals is enabling the assembly and study
of ‘molecular’ electronics and mechanical devices, and also, the exploration
of fundamental physics in low-dimensional systems. These progresses have been
made possible partly due to invention of new experimental tools, such as
scanning probe microscopy (SPM), and the advance of semiconductor device
fabrication technology including techniques for microelectromechanical
systems. Combining these new experimental techniques to nanoscale
materials produce an ample space to explore the new physical phenomena, which
may bring an impact to future technologies. The use of modern state-of-the-art
semiconductor device fabrication techniques and the development of new
methods of material synthesis/manipulation are essential parts of this
research. Specifically, my research subjects in
this statement are: · Quantum
thermal transport phenomena in 1-dimensional nanoscaled
materials · Mesoscopic
thermoelectricity and thermoelectric applications of nanoscale
materials in the quantum transport regime · Quantum
transport in novel 2-dimensional materials including graphene · Application
of mesoscopic electron transport and thermodynamic processes for sensors and
electric devices. |
