Advanced Materials and Surface Science
The Advanced Materials and Surface Science Group consists of 8 Research Fellows and 5 adjunct Research Fellows. The goals of this research group are (1) to incept new ways of fabricating, characterizing and utilizing materials with novel properties, and (2) to achieve a thorough understanding of the microscopic mechanisms underlying these novel properties. There are plenty of collaboration and interaction among group members.
Yuh-Lin Wang exploits the concept of ‘constrained self-organization’ to create magic-number clusters of atoms or molecules on crystal surfaces and to fabricate ordered arrays of metallic nanowires as metamaterials with novel plasmonic properties as well as arrays of Raman-enhancing nanoparticles, which are used to monitor bacteria's response to antibiotic treatment via surface enhanced Raman scattering.
The research focus of Kuei-Hsien Chen is on the growth and characterization of nanomaterials for energy applications such as nanocatalysts in hydrogen technology, interface control in solar cell and solar fuel, and advanced thermoelectric materials. Wei-Hua Wang's research focuses on the design, fabrication, and engineering of nanodevices composed of 2D materials and their composites. His group is interested in the transport and optoelectronic properties of these devices, including quantum phenomena and photovoltaic effect. Ya-Ping Hsieh concentrates on the synthesis of novel 2D materials at high quality and large scale for applications in electronic devices and chemical processes. She employs spectroscopic characterization techniques to elucidate the properties of the produced material and enhance the understanding of the growth process.
Mei-Yin Chou applies condensed matter theories to study the electronic and structural properties of solids, surfaces, interfaces, and clusters. Ching-Ming Wei conducts Quantum Monte Carlo calculations to explore the accuracy of exchange-correlation approximations used in the density functional theory. Jer-Lai Kuo's group uses theoretical and computational tools to investigate the structure and properties of molecular crystals and 2D materials. Liang-Yan Hsu uses theoretical and computational tools to explore quantum transport phenomena in advanced materials and light-matter interactions at the nanoscale.
The adjunct research fellows include: Chia-Chun Chen (NTNU) focuses on the synthesis, characterization and the applications of nano-materials for energy, optoelectronic and biomedical applications. Po-Wen Chiu (NTHU) is working on the growth and band structure engineering of 2D layered materials, and their high speed electronic and photodetector applications. Minn-Tsong Lin (NTU) is devoted to studying nano-magnetism and spintronics with help of spin-polarized STM and magnetic circular dichroism effect on emergent materials such as 2-dimensional materials and topological matters. Ken-Tsung Wong's (NTU) group focuses on synthesis and molecular design of organic nano materials for optoelectronic applications. Juen-Kai Wang's (NTU) expertise is to develop innovative optical spectroscopic techniques to investigate light-matter interaction at femtosecond and nanometer scales.
