We engineer quantum nanostructures in atomically thin 2D materials and carbon nanotubes and explore magneto-optics of van der Waals magnets, advancing nanotechnology and quantum technologies through the exploration of emergent quantum phenomena.
Atomically precise quantum emitters in van der Waals materials via functionalization engineering.
Understanding nanoscale phenomena and carrier dynamics in carbon nanotubes and 2D materials through advanced spectroscopy.
Magneto-optics of van der Waals magnets and 2D heterostructures, toward optical access to spin and valley states for quantum technologies.
A study led by Mengyue Wang and Jacob Fortner in ACS Nano shows that highly symmetric zigzag carbon nanotubes give organic color centers with nearly identical emission colors.
Graduate students at NIMS partner universities can spend 6-12 months doing thesis research in our group at NIMS through the ICGP.
A study led by Yuto Urano in Physical Review B shows that moire excitons can hide their valley polarization: opposite circular polarizations cancel out when the light is measured …
Our joint proposal with the group of Dr. Tapajyoti Das Gupta at the Department of Instrumentation and Applied Physics, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, has been …
Julian Sehr from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, has joined our group as an internship student! He will stay with us from October 13, 2026 until January 2027. …
A study led by Yuto Urano in Nano Letters shows that strain, not the valley state, makes light from WSe2/WS2 moire excitons linearly polarized.
