Research Interests

● Crystal Structure

- Analyzing crystal structure through (scanning) transmission electron microscopy((S)TEM), convergent beam electron diffraction(CBED) and nano-area electron diffraction(NED).
- Atomic structure of materials and interface, grain boundary, defect structure.

● Electronic Structure

- Analyzing electronic structure of the materials through electron energy loss spectroscopy(EELS) and density functional theory(DFT) calculation.
- Electronic structure of interface, grain boundary and defects.

● Nano scale measurement of charge distribution and stress

- Stress measurement, with 10nm resolution and 0.05% accuracy, of nano-structure's domain.
- Measuring stress variance with respect to its position in semiconductor device, Stress measurement in multi layered nano thin film.

● In-situ I-V measurement in TEM

- I-V measurement in TEM with in-situ scanning tunneling microscopy(STM)/TEM double tilt holder.
- Direct measurement of local conductivity in nanomaterials, interface, grain boundary, and defect.
