Semiconductor and Quantum Materials   

In addition to conventional spintronics materials, which are all 'quantum' 'in the general definition ( after all, the spins are aligned due to the exchange interaction), we also grow other quantum materials, mostly thinfilms, to study the spin transport in these systems. Sometimes we employ other methods such as mechanical exfoliation to obtain thin crystals with higher quality ( compared to the films gown by PVD or CVD). In most cases we aim to incorporate these materials as one of the components in a multilayered heterostructure. Below are a few examples of the materials we have explored.

The Wang lab is part of the NSF interdisciplinary quantum information research and engineering (INQUIRE) project . The INQUIRE facility and quantum-network testbed comprises of entangled-photon sources and single-photon detectors connecting five major nodes over multiple buildings and disciplines including Electrical and Computer Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Optical Sciences, Physics, and Biomedical Engineering.
