Research Interests

Ultra-clean two-dimensional (2D) carrier systems in Modulation-doped GaAs/AlGaAs hetero-structures provide a nearly ideal testing ground for exploring quantum transport and other interaction-induced physics phenomena. This is indeed the cleanest system yet available where the electrons can travel coherently for as long as ~10 μm. At low temperatures and in the presence of a strong magnetic field, these systems exhibit fascinating, often unexpected, many-body states arising from the strong electron-electron interaction. Examples include the fractional quantum Hall liquid, the Wigner solid, and the newly discovered striped (nematic) and bubble phases in the higher Landau levels.

The rapid improvement of quantum computing technique and fast scaling of qubits put great demands on cryogenic electronic circuits operating at millikelvin temperatures. The high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) based on high quality modulation-doped 2DES/2DHS, are the best candidates. They can be integrated with quantum devices such as qubits, SQUIDs, single-electron transistors, etc., work natively at T ≤ 4 K, have high cut-off frequency, and dissipate only a few μW of power. Moreover, the study of high mobility 2D systems reveals a rich family of quantum phenomenon and transitions such as quantum Hall effect, Wigner crystal, etc., which can be applied in developing new HEMTs.
