Current Research Projects
Dr. Luo's current research activities include three areas, i.e., the physics and applications of magnetic semiconductors and nanostructures, in the area of electronics/spintronics and photonics. More detailed description of his work can be found in his publications and in an overview of his research projects . Since bulk semiconductors have been studied and used extensively, most of the new properties and applications come from low-dimensional structures, i.e., superlattices, quantum wells (2-dimensional), quantum wires (1-dimensional) and quantum dots (0-dimensional). Fabrication using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), physics and device studies of such structures are part of his research. In addition to fabricating structures, he is also involved in various types of studies of such structures, including their structural, optical, transport and magnetic properties, with the goal of understanding the fundamental properties of those structures and their application potential. Device research are also carried out in his group.
