The lab brings ferromagnetism, superconductivity, and topology together in a single semiconductor.
AboutAbout the lab
Opening up a new future for semiconductors
Anh Lab studies how to give semiconductors new properties: ferromagnetism, superconductivity, and topology.
Using crystal growth techniques with atomic-level control, the lab builds nanoscale structures that stack semiconductors, ferromagnets, and superconductors.
Based on these structures, the lab is developing ultra-low-power electronics and technologies that serve as a foundation for quantum information.
The lab spans many fields, including solid-state physics, magnetism, superconductivity, quantum information, and semiconductor devices.
Key terms
- Topology
- A mathematical concept dealing with properties that are preserved when a shape is continuously deformed. In materials, it appears as electronic states that are robust against disorder
- Molecular beam epitaxy
- A method of growing crystals in a vacuum by releasing source materials little by little, building up the crystal one atomic layer at a time
- Majorana fermion
- A peculiar particle that is its own antiparticle. It is expected to be usable for fault-tolerant quantum computing

ResearchResearch themes
Using its own crystal growth and device fabrication techniques based on molecular beam epitaxy, the lab aims to develop materials and devices that combine a variety of functional materials. Centered on the physical properties of magnetism, topology, and superconductivity as well as device engineering, the lab pursues research that spans materials science to quantum information science.
*Illustrative imageSemiconductor spintronics
The lab grows crystals of ferromagnetic semiconductors, which can use both the charge and the spin of electrons, studies their electrical, optical, and magnetic properties, and develops applications in low-power electronic devices.
*Illustrative imageCombining superconductors and ferromagnetic semiconductors
Using structures that stack superconductors, semiconductors, and ferromagnetic semiconductors, the lab aims to bring superconductivity, ferromagnetism, and topology together in a single semiconductor material. The goal is to demonstrate a method for creating and controlling Majorana fermions with voltage, without applying a magnetic field.
*Illustrative imageExploring new topological materials
The lab grows topological semimetals, topological insulators, and structures that stack them, and investigates their new properties. It also has applications in sensing, information processing, and memory technologies in view.
*Illustrative imageOxide electronics
The lab studies electronic devices that use a conducting channel, where electrons move easily, formed at the interface between a ferromagnetic oxide and another oxide. Controlling the positions of oxygen atoms is the key to forming the interface.
