Currently, my research interests revolve around the intersection of terahertz spectroscopy, magnetism, and oxides. Below is a brief description of these fields:

Terahertz Spectroscopy

Terahertz spectroscopy is an effective analytical technique for investigating the electromagnetic spectrum in the terahertz frequency range, which typically ranges from 0.1 to 10 terahertz (THz). This technique takes advantage of the unique features of terahertz radiation, which occurs between the microwave and infrared ranges, and provides excellent insights into molecular structure, composition, and dynamics. Terahertz spectroscopy uses a terahertz source to emit radiation onto the sample of interest, which subsequently interacts with its chemical constituents. The transmitted or reflected terahertz radiation is detected and analyzed to obtain useful information about the sample's characteristics. This data is often presented as a terahertz absorption or reflection spectrum, which reveals characteristic features associated with molecular vibrations, rotational transitions, or other interactions in the material. 

Magnetism

Magnetism, a fundamental component of physics, is manifested by the intrinsic magnetic moments associated with elementary particles such as electrons and nuclei. Magnetic materials display a variety of macroscopic phenomena, including ferromagnetism, antiferromagnetism, ferrimagnetism, and paramagnetism, depending on how magnetic moments are aligned and interact with one another. Terahertz spectroscopy is useful in the research of magnetism because it provides information on materials' electrical and magnetic properties. Terahertz radiation interacts with magnetic materials through magneto-optical effects, spin resonance, and spin-dependent transport phenomena. Exploring the terahertz sensitivity of magnetic materials allows researchers to study spin dynamics, magnetic phase transitions, and spin-wave excitations.
