Welcome to Our Lab
Our group focuses on the spectroscopic investigation of low dimensional materials and the application in optoelectronic devices.
We explore the fundamental physical properties of novel low-dimensional materials using spectroscopic techniques, e.g. Raman, Photoluminescence. We also try to modulate the optoelectronic properties of these materials through defects/strain/interface engineering, and aim to develop high performance optoelectronic devices, such as photodetectors, light emitting and photovoltaic devices.
