Welcome to ASIAN!

Thin films are currently of much scientific interest because their surfaces and interfaces affect the behaviour of the material to a much greater extent than the bulk. Many surfaces and interface properties can and have been exploited in technological applications. These effects are observed in films composed of materials with strong electronic interactions, and manifest themselves in an unusual phase transition, magnetic, electrical, and optical properties. We are also interested in superlattices of these materials, which are composed of stacking two ultra-thin films of different materials and repeating this structure several times. This often results in new phenomena because of the artificial periodicity of the superlattice.

Current interests in our laboratory include 1) thin film magnetism, 2) interface properties of metal and oxide films and 3) interfacial effect of hybrid structure including nano-particles. 

We are also looking for energetic young students who want to have full experience in thin film physics. [asian.pusan.ac.kr@gmail.com]
