Research interests include: 1. magnetic interaction and magnetotransport in multilayers and patterned structures, such as the exchange interaction in multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy, magnetic domain structures, and magnetotransport in lateral connected magnetic heterostructures; 2. multi-functional oxides, such as the fabrication of epitaxial multiferroic films (e.g., BiFeO3) by UHV sputtering and structural, ferromagnetic, ferroelectric and optical characterization of multiferroic films; 3. spin injection and detection in semiconductor nanowire heterostructures, such as fabrication of Si, GaAs, InP and other III-V, II-VI semiconductor nanowires by laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition, spin injection from metallic and semiconducting ferromagnets into semiconductor nanowires through nano-contacts or tunnel junctions, detection of spin currents in semiconductors using polarized light emission from semiconductor LEDs, and electrical spin detection in semiconductor nanowires with without the influence of spurious effects, e.g., Hall effect.
