The adsorbates on surfaces often results in the formation of quasi-one or two-dimensional electron systems that are susceptible to quantum instabilities due to the substantially reduced phase space. We study a spectrum of surface-based collective quantum effects, for example, charge density waves.
Graphene is a monolayer of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal lattices. The massless Dirac fermion behavior distinguishes graphene from conventional two-dimensional massive electron systems with parabolic energy dispersion. We are interested to effectively tune its physical properties, including quantum transport and quantum plasmonics.
Nobel laureate Herbert Kroemer dictated that “the interface is the device”. A multitude of discoveries has been revealed at semiconductor interfaces. It is expected that more fascinating quantum phenomena will be developed at oxide interfaces, due to the intrinsic strong entanglement of the spin, charge, and orbit degrees of freedom in oxide. We study the two-dimensional electron liquid behaviors at the heterogeneous interfaces between functional perovskite oxides.
