  Research Interests and achievement
Updated on September 3, 2006 

My research interest is mainly in the fields of Materials Physics and Synchrotron Radiation Applications. Recently, I have concentrated my works on the studies of nanocrystal, spintronic, and photovoltaic materials using synchrotron radiation x-ray techniques. Except for some nanocrystal samples prepared in my lab at Tsing Hua employing chemical methods, most of the samples used in my x-ray measurements have been provided by leading crystal growers in Taiwan, U.S. and Japan. During the past decade, I have probed the short-range-order and long-range-order structures, as well as local electronic structure and local magnetic properties of selected atomic species, in many spintronic materials including III-V based diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) such as Mn- and Fe-doped InAs, GaAs, and GaN systems and diluted magnetic oxides such as Co-doped TiOand HfO2 systems. As an example of important success in these research works, our experimental data have provided unambiguous proof for substitutional doping of transition metals in many III-V semiconductors including the first III-V DMS (In,Mn)As. My other works include characterization of nanocrystal and photovoltaic materials. All our experimental results have provided not only important insights for understanding interesting physical properties of the materials but also crucial feed-back information for sample growers to improve the materials for technological applications.
