Exploring novel electron transport phenomena in low dimensions
When crystals are thinned to the atomic layer level, quantum effects become remarkably pronounced, often exhibiting novel properties such as high-mobility electrons, spin-polarized electrons, and metal-insulator transitions that are not observed in bulk crystals. We conduct research to realize and understand these unique properties on ultrathin films and surfaces by controlling them. By utilizing high-intensity and high-energy-resolution synchrotron radiation, we can accurately capture these novel physical phenomena. Combining the state-of-the-art NanoTerasu facility and the multi-probe measurement devices and computational science, we will precisely describe the electron transport phenomena and explore new nanomaterials.
