Research Interests and achievement
Updated on September 3, 2006
I started out my research career in strongly correlated electron systems. In particular, we combined Wilson¡¦s renormalization group and the non-perturbative bosonization techniques to study quasi-one-dimensional ladder materials. Not only we were among the first to pin down the phase diagram of the competing ground states, we also discovered a novel dynamical symmetry enlargement in the two-leg lad?der. In fact, it is the first time that one can obtain exact resutls/predictions for the novel spin liquid ground states.

After coming back to Taiwan in 2000, I switched research direction to work on spintronics. With Allan MacDonald's group, we successfully built up the spin-wave theory for diluted magnetic semiconductors and explained the carrier-mediated ferro?magnetism in these materials. Being one of the pioneering groups in this field, our pa?pers on this subject receive more than 300 citations by now.

In recent years, we applied the notion of carrier-mediated ferromagnetism to the exchange coupling in conventional magnetic junctions. We demonstrate how the magnetic couplings between two ferromagnetic layers depend crucially on the itinerant carriers in the intermediate layer and thus can be manipulated by electric field at ease. Surprisingly, we also discovered that the topology of the Fermi surface is closely related to the mediated exchange cou?plings.
