Research Subject
Laser and terahertz spectroscopy of solids
Current Research
My research interests are focused on two subjects: 1) study of novel material phases induced by photo-excitation in semiconductors, such as electron-hole liquid, electron-hole plasma, and further novel quantum phases like exciton BEC, excitonic insulator (e-h BCS ) as theoretically anticipated to exist, 2) low energy electromagnetic responses in correlated electron systems, especially in their symmetry-broken ground states. By using the ultrafast laser spectroscopy technique exemplified by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, we are investigating the dynamical behavior of phase transition phenomena through the observation of collective excitations or single particle excitations.
